I may be in the minority, but I love this girl's voice. She's a nutter, but hella voice and performer. I'll listen to her sing anything. Most of you have likely seen this...

Great thread @TheRob...love it. Not sure if I agree that any of these are better than the original, different yes, but better? Definitely just as good....there's a reason that these songs are covered, because they are great songs! I'm a great Dylan fan, but some would say that any cover of a Dylan song is better that the original some of my faves are
Stones...Like a Rolling Stone
Rage against the Machine....Maggies Farm
Hendrix....All Along the Watchtower
Miley's and Pearl Jam versions awesome!!!
Sorry I didn't post the videos
