Dave, I agree, Cash’s “Hurt” video and song are mesmerizing.

Great list, Brad! If love music covers, check out the podcast “Coverville.” Each week, the host takes an artists (U2 is this week) and features their songs covered by other artists. Every now and then, you’ll stumble upon an artist whose other work you’d love to explore.

Great post!

I remember seeing Johnny Cash’s video for Hurt. It melted my psyche into a puddle of existential nothingness.

(Dang, where did that come from?)

Brad, please use your vaulted status in the realm of the blogosphere to push for a cover of Leonard Nimoy’s “Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.” You’ll find this exquisite treasure here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC73PHdQX04

Suggested artist to handle the cover? I’m thinking either Lady Gaga or Sandi Patti.

The new Stryper release due in Fall of this year will be all covers. They will be including a Van Halen song, Kansas, Judas Priest (Breaking the Law), and others. Ought to be interesting if you like covers and rock music. (I do).

Ha ha, there’s a ton of great covers out there. That’s why this is only part 1…more great covers coming soon and there just might be some GLEE in there.

Brad, I agree, all of these are awesome, although I’m super disappointed you don’t have any GLEE on this list.

Also, have you checked out Derek Webb’s Democracy, Vol. 1? He’s got a phenomenal cover of The Times They Are A-Changin’ (Dylan). You have to pay $6 to subscribe all year, and you get a new song each month. So far, he’s covered “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul” (Gnarls Barkley), “Fix You” (Coldplay), and “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” (Beatles), along with the abovementioned tune.
