I generally don't like covers. If a band is loyal to the original then I'm usually okay. Like, it was really hard listening to More Than a Feeling for a long time just because I have all of Boston's records, some of it on vinyl and More Than a Feeling is a rock anthem. It's not a song for vocalizing. So I find myself giving covers more of a chance than I used to. Eva Cassidy's Fields of Gold. And Jeff Buckley does an amazing cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah (but on that side, I HATE Rufus Wainright's (I think that's who did it for Shrek) cover of the same song). I guess it's just a matter of what you hear first, how the song is covered (dont' get me started on Sixpence Non the Richer's cover of Don't Dream It's Over).
