      “Hurt” By Johnny Cash v. NIN. Basically any cover he made in his later years. I mean he reinvented those songs. Arguably they are different songs altogether but they are really great. “Personal Jesus”, “Hung My Head”, they all could fall in to that category.

      The 2010 Chevy Camaro returns after an absence of 7 years. Already receiving rave reviews, I want one!

      The version of “Maltese Falcon” with Humphrey Bogart is the third time the book was filmed. The earlier versions sucked pretty bad.

      I love the harp, mandolin and bass. Check out their version of Video Killed the Radio Star as well.

      I think these cover songs surpass the originals:
      Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love”, originally Gloria Jones
      Jimi Hendrix’ “All Along The Watchtower”, originally Bob Dylan
      Jonathan Coulton’s “Baby Got Back” originally Sir Mix-A-Lot I produce a podcast called Coverville.com that tries to feature cover songs that are as good or better than the originals.
