Your favorite cover at the moment?

Just wanted to know what's your favorite cover version right now?

I'll start off with 4:

- Firewater - Paint it Black (or. Rolling Stones - Paint It Black ). Saw these guys in concert last week -> amazing!

- Junior Jazz - Uptown Top Ranking (or. Althea & Donna - Uptown Top Ranking ). This is actually a 15 year old Belgian girl covering this reggae classic, but I like the producing and her chilled voice a lot!

- Youngblood Brass Band - Pastime Paradise (or. Stevie Wonder - Pastime Paradise ). Although it's not very recent, this 100% acoustic and authentic US brass band does a great uptempo hiphop version of the Stevie Wonder classic. Their concerts are also highly recommended btw..

- The White Stripes - I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself (or. Tommy Hunt - I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself ). Just mentioning this one before everyone else does ;-)

The first 3 aren't very well-known covers, but throw in whatever you like!

and your favorite "tribute" album?

My one: The Song of Jimmie Rodgers - A Tribute

The Song of Jimmie Rodgers - A Tribute

14 songs written 60-70 years ago covered by artists like BOB DYLAN, Bono, Van Morrison, Steve Earle, Jerry Garcia, Willie Nelson....

Jonny Lang does a great cover of Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City" on his 2003 album LONG TIME COMING.

I like Avril Lavigne's rendition of Knocking on Heaven's door.

What's So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding by Elvis Costello originally done by Nick Lowe.

Quick Sand by Dinosaur Jr. originally done by David Bowie:

These are probably my two favorite covers by two of my favorite musicians.

My favorite cover of the moment is "I Got Rhythm" by the Carpenters. Karen Carpenter does an excellent drum solo and sings the song beautifully.

I LOVE Snow Patrols cover of that song! And is that an old Midge Ure album? They(he) opened at the first concert I ever saw; Howard Jones.

So many great covers out there....here are some of my fav's:

Two of my favorite artists (Sheryl Crow and Dwight Yoakam) combine for the cover of Sonny & Cher's "Baby Don't Go"

Mike Ness has some GREAT covers....Dylan's "Don't Think Twice It's All Right". A whole album full of them on "Under The Influences".

How about The Beatles doing Smokey Robinson on "You Really Got A Hold On Me"?

Eliza Gilkyson does a really good cover of World Party's "Is It Like Today"

Favorite tribute album a tie: A Nod To Bob-- celebrating Dylan's 60th

A Tribute to Steve Goodman-- post mortem
