Top 5 Cover Songs

The results are in for Top 5 Friday! Thanks to Jayme for her great topic - Top 5 Cover Songs. I had a terribly hard time with this one. There are so many amazing choices.

  • Jayme
    The Say Vision - Res
    Turn the Page - Metallica
    Raining in Baltimore - Brandi Carlile
    Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
    Put Da Lime in Da Coconut - Kermit the Frog and the Muppets

    notes: Jayme would have chosen Creep by Brandi Carlile as her number 3rd selection and Coconut by PM Dawn for her 5th selection, but they were not available.

  • Eric
    Blue Monday - Orgy
    Tainted Love - Marilyn Manson
    Hurt - Johnny Cash
    Do Ya Think I'm Sexy - Revolting Cocks
    Sweet Jane - Cowboy Junkies

  • Lisa
    Rainbow Connection - Me First & The Gimme Gimmes
    Hurt - Johnny Cash
    Mad World - Gary Jules
    Proud Mary - Tina Turner
    Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles

  • Travis
    Hallelujah - by Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainright, and Brandi Carlile. All of these performers do such an amazing job on this song I couldn't pick which one was best.
    Blue Monday - Orgy
    Creep - Brandi Carlile
    My Humps - Alanis Morissette
    Storm - Lifehouse

  • Connie
    Let the Mystery Be - 10,000 Maniacs
    Uncle John's Band - Indigo Girls
    Desolation Row - Grateful Dead
    Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor
    My Way - The Sex Pistols
Apparently, Orgy, Jeff Buckley, and Johnny Cash deserve some extra props. Great minds think alike. All the lists are awesome! Thanks to everyone. And remember "we never eva do anything nice . . . and . . . easy."

Eric -

I think Tainted Love should be played throughout the building every morning. Wow - what an amazing version!
