The war on drugs- touch of grey (Grateful Dead)

Just from this year, but it is already one of my favorite covers ever.

John Mayer's cover of "Freefallin"


Came here to post this. I dont even consider myself to be that big of a John Mayer fan, but his cover of "free fallin" is excellent.

Woodstock - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Most people don't know that originally it was a horrible Joni Mitchell song.

Oddly enough...I like two covers of Brittney Spears songs that were horrible originals.

Toxic - Nickel Creek

Oops I Did it Again - Richard Thompson

and... A Certain Girl - The Yardbirds

The hell you say! That song was written in 1929 after the Great Flood of 1927. Led Zeppelin ripped it off (they are currently being sued for this kind of practice).

Led Zeppelin is one of the biggest IP criminals of all time.
