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

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.
