    "Love Is A Battle Field" - Papoose

  4. This is one of my faves, NP did a really good job of keeping the original element of the Collins version and adding their own particular style around the original sound

    edit: while I'm at it:

    Turn the Page: Metallica (Original Bob Seger)

    Walk this Way: Run DMC (Original Aerosmith), had to include this one because of the impact on the waning poplularity

    All Along the Watchtower: Jimi Hendrix (Original Bob Dylan)

    A personal fave....

    Take On Me: MxPx (Original A-ha)

  6. GREAT SCOTT!!! Thats a good list ;) Ill aphabitize and oragnize latere. Kinda need sleep right now.
     
  7. Hand on your Heart - Jose Gonzalez
     
  8. Kris Kristofferson was a great songwriter, but he didn't play his own songs very well.
    Me and Bobbie McGee is a good example. I think the definitive version of it is Roger Miller's. Sunday Morning Coming Down by Johnny Cash is also a good Kristofferson rehash.

    Willie Nelson's version of Always on My Mind is good, and more recently Shinedown did a pretty good version of Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
     
  9. Iron and Wine - Such Great Heights (The Postal Service)
     
  10. I didnt like Snoop Doggs cover of "Riders Of The Storm" cause Jim Morrison is a lyrical god but it grew on me.. you should download it if you havent heard it yet...its gota good beat.
