Best of the best cover songs.

Johnny Cash does a lot of amazing covers, a couple of my personal faves are "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" and "Personal Jesus".

Though not a big country fan, I do love Wille Nelson's takes on many old standards..."Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is the first to come to mind.

My all-time least favorite cover, which many people seem to love, is Metallica's version of Bob Seger's "Turn the Page"....just brutal.

100% agree on this. The worst part is so many younger people have never heard Seger sing it so they think it's a Metallica song... gag.

I admit here and now I never realized that was an Otis Redding song. See learn something new every day. Thanks for posting it Thomas.

Agreed. It's sad that something, once heard, can never be unheard.

Thanks for learning something, Adam, and I mean that sincerely. Some people are incapable of that.

Put this on a mix tape that played at both my father's ansd brother's funerals. It gives me chills, in a good way.
