Thing I love about iTunes' Genius is that it pokes me with songs I didn't even know I owned!

Lately my favourite three discoveries - discovered and dusted off, or just bought on the iTunes store - Jolene by Susanna & the Magical Orchestra, Such Great Heights by Iron & Wine (cover of the postal service), Between the Bars by Madeleine Peyroux (cover of Elliott Smith). Apparently I'm in a covers mood.

What's your favourite cover?

(If you can upload it, that'd be fuckin' awesome. :D)

I can't upload anything from work, but I have a couple I'll hit up when I get home.

(You should absolutely upload Between the Bars for me.)

I bought it from iTunes so I'm not sure I can.

If the file extension is .m4p then no. :( If it is recent than you should be able to though.

"Feelin' Good" (either the Nina Simone or the Muse version): both are great covers.

sorry i cannot share!

Johnny Cash covering Trent Reznor's Hurt is definitely the top, tho the Newton Faulkner version of Massive Attack's Teardrop and the Dar Williams version of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb are close.

I lurve Genius for precisely that reason! I'm like, 'wtf, i own this sweet song?'

My favorite cover is "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" by Barenaked Ladies. I have no clue how to upload, but here's a youtube clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhrglSnUe5w
