Oh man, that Nostalgia 77 cover of the White Stripes is dope as hell! Thanks for these and the others you posted.

Edit: Yeah, all these in part 2 are pretty fantastic. Hadn't heard any of them (except the Otis Redding track) before.

Woke up this morning with great covers on my mink, already forgot at least one of em.

Harry Nilsson won a best male vocal performance Grammy from his cover of Badfingers Without You. It's a sappy song and the wolves video version is a bit silly but Harry really had some pipes.

Detroit Cobras can really tear the ass out of rock cover. Cover of the Shrangri-La's Eaiser to Cry.

The Dirtbombs from Detroit grind out some mean covers as well. They did an admirable job of transforming Marvin Gays Got to Give it Up, don't see it on youtube but check it out on a music service of your choice.

Quixotic does some great covers. Here is a good version of [Billy Stewarts],(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g14VdGTDt64) Sitting in a Park. It's a nice transformation. I would have never heard Billy Stewart if it wasn't for Quixotic.

Some one else posted Xiu Xiu's Fast Car a while back, I think it's a great version of a great song.

I love this think of great covers game, don't think I've shuffled through my memory this hard in months.

So . . . would you say you like music a little bit? :)

I like books, music, public policy, games, history, WHL junior hockey and boxing in no particular order.
