Two covers of Enjoy The Silence. The original can never be topped but these two aren't bad.

The first one is by Anberlin
Spoiler: show


The second I'm not sure who made it but I like the softer take on it.

Don, I agree on Wishing Well & Jealous Guy. Haven't heard the other 3 covers.

Not sure it's better than the original, but I was quite intrigued when I heard this on the radio a couple of days ago.



Bonnie Raitt covers INXS's "Need You Tonight."

Wasn't Born To Follow - Monkees over Byrds.

Originally recorded for the Monkees to put on the Head soundtrack but never finished until this year when a new Peter Tork vocal was placed over the 1968 backing track.

Opposite for me; but I would call it a tie with the Monkees on Take A Giant Step vs Taj Mahal's original.

I'm confused. Wasn't Taj's version (1969) three years after the Monkees' (1966)?

I do like them equally.

What album did they cover it on (I probably have it, but can't get to my cd's right now!)
