A radio station I listen to has been playing covers by famous artists.

We all know some of the more famous covers of all time. What amuses me are some of the less famous ones. But hey post what you want.

I’m sure you’ve all heard it but I just love Johnny Cash’s Hurt.

Indeed. One of the best covers ever.

I will come back later with videos (can't post them from my current work computer) but I have the Covers channel on SiriusXM saved as a favorite because I totally dig some great covers.

A few that I hear from that radio station that I have thoroughly enjoyed and will try to post video for - Florence & The Machine's cover of Halo, Sia's version of Unforgettable, Gym Class Heroes cover of Under the Bridge, Willie Nelson's version of Just Breathe, Kelly Clarkson's cover of Give Me One Reason (Tracy Chapman), Grace Potter's cover of Tush.

I'm sure there's more that will come to me, and many covers I have seen at concerts that I'll have to see if I can find any youtube coverage for.

This was already a legendary grooving tune:

Then, His Purple Highness slowed it just a touch, played behind the beat just a hair, and turned it into a grinding, clothes shedding heat machine!

Heresy at its finest. Probably why he was struck down.
