Definitely agree on Al Green, I also think his 'Here I Am' is far superior to the overproduced one.

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
The Paragons - Tide is High
Tears for Fears - Mad World
Prince - The Dance Electric
The Who - Behind Blue Eyes
Ednaswap - Torn
Bill Withers - Lean on Me, Just the Two of Us (with Grover Washington)

Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah.

It's not a bad version, but it doesn't compare to the well known cover.

Pretty faithful cover really. Certainly suited Blondie well, added some attitude without changing the arrangement much

Blue Suede cover is a travesty

I was looking for the thread titled "songs you didn't know were covers". It must've been another forum.

It works for this thread however...
