Electronic Music 411 - Covers that beat the originals - cover songs, cover bands, after ski

im such a sucker for the Tori Amos version of "Enjoy the Silence"

and one of my all time favourites would be Angie Hart's version of "blue".. no not the track she wrote with Joss Whedon of Buffy fame but a cover of the great Joni Mitchell track..

i have to disagree... the tm cover is absolutely gorgeous, but the original is untouchable

i can't think of anything amazing... well this one may not count but the hell interface version of midas touch is pretty rad
