I love cover songs. I love hearing different variations on the same song. In my younger days, I would spend hours just looking up covers on Youtube. They don’t have to even be professional covers, I like hearing amateur Youtubers attempt famous songs too. Some may be terrible, but that’s okay. It’s just fun to experience the variety of interpretations out there.
Today, I present to you five covers that I feel are as good as the original versions. I’m not saying these are the best covers of all time, but they are really wonderful.
