At first I hated it, but I've warmed up to it.

I absolutely love Amy Macdonald's version of Bruce Sprinsteen's Dancing in the Dark. I wouldn't recommend listening to them one after the other, because the cover has a different kind of energy.

I'm 50/50 on cover songs. It all depends on the song, the artist, and whether it's an exact copy or a totally new rendition. True, there are few that are better than the original, but those that are tend to be truly great. For example, do you remember the original version of "Hey Joe" by The Leaves? Or the cover version by Jimi Hendrix? I've never even heard the original. "Hurt" by NIN basically became Johnny Cash's song with the version he did.
Didn't see this one posted, but I think I saw it on the sad songs thread. Originally by Tears for Fears:
YouTube - Mad World - Gary Jules
another one of my favorite covers, originally by Dr. Dre:
YouTube - Ben Folds - Myspace Gig - Bitches Ain't Shit
and one more, originally by Mr. Bob Dylan:
YouTube - Sam Bush

Hey, a cover by Avril Lavigne that doesn't suck! I know, I was shocked too. Doesn't hold a candle to the original though.

I think the instrumental version by Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan is interesting compared to the rock version by The White Stripes.

This one just makes me laugh. Jenny Owen Youngs is too cute for words.

Obviously, no one can live up to Nirvana, but I think Amy Lee does an decent job. Or maybe I'm just sucked in because of her beautiful voice. Who knows.
