I always thought Jackson Browne was a better songwriter than a performer.

Bonnie Raitt's cover of his Under the Falling Sky kicks ass, and of course, The Eagle's cover of Take It Easy started their career.

I really enjoy the Faith No More cover too.

Even though I love Leonard Cohen, I must say Jeff Buckley did a great job

enjoyed Pomplamoose, thanks Redlemon. Good fun.

I quite like this cover of Umbrella by Scott Simons -

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918

The_Jazz

The original



The definitive cover



Hard for me to say which is better or which I even like more. But when I first heard the cover, I had to go seek out the original, and I have a decent collection of Toots now.

I have to say that Across the Universe did great covers. The only one I didn't really care for was While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
