QotD: Better than the original?
What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
Back in the heyday of Napster, I used to be a cover song collector and I had hundreds of them. One of my favorites was Lagwagon's cover of Agent Orange's Everything Turns Grey. I alsoy enjoyed random uploaded covers by people in college dorms playing them on acoustic guitars. I noticed that youtube has a lot of those now -- people with guitars and webcams singing.
A few years ago I got tired of all the covers and started enjoying new music instead. I can't think of any recent amazing covers but this cover of You Spin Me Round by someone at MetaFilter Music is really, really good.
