off the top of my head for this thread:
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan)
Cat Power - Sea of Love (Phil Phillips)
Pet Shop Boys - Always on My Mind (Elvis Presley - I know his is totally different and excellent and everything but I just love the audacity of the cover, and it's a brilliant tune)
Adele - Make You Feel My Love (Bob Dylan - noticing a theme here. And I'm annoyed it's been overplayed too :tongue:)
Don McLean - Crying (Roy Orbison)
The Gossip - Careless Whisper (George Michael)
George Harrison - Something (not really a cover since he wrote it but I prefer his solo version)
Goldfrapp - Ride A White Horse (some irrelevant 80s woman)
The Killers - Romeo and Juliet (Dire Straits)
Mott the Hoople - All the Young Dudes (David Bowie, although he supposedly wrote it for them)
Patsy Cline - Crazy (Willie Nelson)

(oh and I agree with the Stevie cover)
(scott stop trying to make these VV covers happen)

I was never too keen on the original, and I think London Grammar are absolutely stunning, so I'll take this.
