The best Cover songs that you've come across.
Rather than talk about the music from this year which alot of people believe has been unoriginal, no identity, etc. I thought we could have a thread to just talk about the best covers you've heard, and they don't have to be released from this year.
These are the first two covers that I can think of right now: Pixie Lott - Use somebody (from Kings of Leon) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5o8L-Or0O4 Ray Lamontagne - Crazy (from Gnarls Barkley) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mEfDSP4g_U |

Paramore's version of 'Use Somebody' also their version of 'Love's Not A Competition (But I'm Winning)' is SO much better than Kaiser Chiefs version.

I'm in agreement with Pixie Lott's cover of 'Use Somebody'. One of my favourites on her new album. She sings it so well.
