Definitely my favorite version of that song!

It's nice but the original hits more raw to me. Perhaps because I heard it first ages ago. There was a kerfuffle about the song's provenance a few year ago.

I am a fan of covers, like Johny Cash's NIN "Hurt" or Marylin Manson's Depeche "Personal Jesus". If anyone has faves regardless of the genre, please share.

The Band’s cover of Springsteen’s “Atlantic City” is superb, particularly the addition of the accordion.

A band called Lake Street Dive has a phenomenal cover of Hall & Oates’ “Rich Girl”.

Scary Pockets is a group with rotating artists (formed by Patreon’s founder/CEO), their covers of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” and Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” are two I return to frequently.
