Isn't it interesting when sometimes the cover becomes more popular than the original?

-- Killing Me Softly (Lori Lieberman / Roberta Flack)

-- Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen / Jeff Buckley)

Ridiculous. The entire genre of jazz is about covers and interpretations of other artist's work in the unique style of the performer.

The songs named here are just my choices,the point here is to name any that you think should be left alone,to each his own.

I cannot imagine enjoying covers of my favorite Eagles or Elton John songs.
