I found a version of Keb Mo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkrapUIhh9c

[terrya]

[LanternWaste]

17. Blinded by the Light.

Blinded by the Light, originally by Springsteen and covered by Manfred Mann's Earth Band (I think).

Although I dig both, I like the Springsteen version better though as it "rocks" rather than "flows" like the Earth Band's cover.

[obreaslan]

20. You can combine the first two...

Same song/artist. Both Harry Chapin. To the best of my knowledge, Cat Stevens never covered this song. A common misconception.

[snooper2]

22. Your right, I didn't listen to the Cat Stevens "cover"

It's Harry Chapin- some idiot just posted that up there with wrong artist

I didn't know Johnny Cash covered it though :)

23. Pigs on the Wing

By Korn and Pink Floyd

[stuntcat]

24. Mad World by Tears For Fears

I'm the ONLY PERSON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD who likes the Tears For Fears version just as much as the Gary Jules one. I'm serious, I know this for a fact. I've seen AT LEAST 500 PEOPLE say how much more they like the version that's in Donnie Darko :banghead:

I'm too upset to look up the links right now :mad:

[ogneopasno]

27. I liked the TFF version MUCH better than the Gary Jules one.

[stuntcat]

34. I thought I was the ONLY one

:headbang:

[ogneopasno]

37. I greet you! I think the remake is way too moody and sad. TFF's is a little angrier and yet

more hopeful. I think. I mean, I've only listened to it like 17,000 times from age 13-17.

[crimsonblue]

31. The Gary Jules/MIchael Andrews version is far superior.

:P

[stuntcat]

33. omg OMG!! >:^[

:grr: :rofl:

[crimsonblue]

36. I not a fan of tears for fears...

:puke:

[ogneopasno]

25. "Lay Lady Lay" by Bob Dylan, covered by Ministry. And the Meat Puppets/Nirvana songs:

"Plateau," "Lake of Fire," and "Oh Me."

[Celeborn Skywalker]

26. "Holy Diver"

I love the original by Dio, but the new one by Killswitch engage adds a modern metal flair that keeps the song interesting.

[ogneopasno]

28. Oh, and the Clash's "London Calling" as covered by Captain Tractor. All kinds of awesome.

[raccoon]

29. "Anna" by Arthur Alexander, and by the Beatles. nt

[crimsonblue]

30. "Oops I did it Again"

Louis Armstrong and Britney Spears...

Actually, I hate the Spears version, but ya gotta love Pops.

[Jamastiene]

32. Crimson and Clover

Joan Jett AND Tommy James...they both have the same manager. I'm waiting for Joan Jett to cover Devil Gate Drive too. That'll be GREAT!

[IndianaJones]

35. Wild Horses..Rolling Stones and The Sundays. nt.

[stuntcat]
