Thought I'd start a fun little thread dedicated to awesome covers....there are so many out there and I always get excited when I see one cool artist doing another cool artist justice!!

I'll start off: Avett Brothers covering Neutral Milk Hotel's 'In The Aeroplane Over the Sea': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDtjDUN6_Rw&feature=plcp

    Mark Lanegan really does an excellent cover of Bob Dylan's "Man In The Long Black Coat".

    Also, this recording of "Rain King" that incorporates "Thunder Road" is, in my opinion, fucking incredible. Adam (and the entire band for that matter) absolutely rocks a Bruce classic:

    They cover this so, so well and I'm not even a Mumford fan! Have you checked out the studio version with Jerry Douglas? It's on his latest album.

    Not only did they do it with Erykah and nail it, but to have it professionally shot to boot. So great.

    Thanks Sam - I'll check it out! I'm not a M&S fan either, but heard this cover on the radio in the car and then had to sit in the shopping centre carpark to listen until the end. Also made me want to go to Mum and Dad's place and give S&G Concert in Central Park a spin on the turn-table :D

    And PJ's version of Leavin' here. I thought it was a Who cover, but a little research showed it's actually a song by a motown guy named Eddie Holland!
