Cover song catalogue
Pretty interesting article over at the Torontoist today. The staff has put together a fairly comprehensive list of notable covers of famous songs. Bonus points for adding an audio sample to each and every cover in question, and for only choosing tracks that are available comercially, so if you like it, you can buy it instead of sifting through live bootlegs for some crappy 96kbps version. You can read the entire list here, but here's a few of my favorites, just because.
Final Fantasy - "Peach Plum Pear" (Joanna Newsom)
