    It may have already been mentioned but I will say (again possibly) Maxwell's cover of Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work".

    I don't know if one is better than the other. I like them all.

    Hol' up.

    Did this man say I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston is the WORST cover song?! This song is great. That sax solo from Kenny G is half the reason I have a saxophone rusting away in the corner of my music room (I also bought it to learn the Careless Whisper intro).


    Covers better than original:

    John Mayer -- Free Fallin (I hate Tom Petty)
    Cortez the Killer -- DMB w/ Warren Haynes
    Cortez the Killer -- Grace Potter w/ Joe Satriani, et al


    These two Cortez versions will blow you away.
