I prefer John Cale's cover of 'Halleujah'

favourite cover - Frank Sinatra's take on Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now'

on the subject of Joni covers, the landlord of my local claims his favourite song is Counting Crows version of 'Big Yellow Taxi' - and I don't think he's having a laugh

 

[Da Man Clay]

Lol, the version i've got says it is by Blondie, but a quick wikipedia search and no mention of blondie covering it.

So, just ignore the 99 Red Balloons one then lol

Not sure who it was by originally but ive heard it and its nowhere nears as good as goldfingers version. I also quite like the cover of Rio by goldfinger!
