I've been thoroughly schooled in the diversity of truly great Beatles covers in the last 24 hours. You be the one to judge whether or not these are better than the original. Let me know if there are any good ones out there that I missed.

A Change is Gonna Come
This is my last post of the night. I'm just getting used to sharing music with the world and evidently need to pace myself a little bit better. So here's a night cap. Three equally moving renditions of Sam Cooke's classic "A Change is Gonna Come".
Warning: Each video is highly conducive to chills, goosebumps, and feelings of euphoria.
Goodnight.
Zeppelin Covers
In my opinion, there are only two Zeppelin covers out there worth listening to. Any others are a waste of time. Any Zep fan knows that trying to cover a Zeppelin song is considered heresy, so the task these artists have undertaken is an ambitious one. However, and this is not up for debate, they both pull it off magnificently.
The first cover is Jeff Buckley's rendition of Night Flight, a bold choice. Night Flight isn't one of Zeppelin's better known songs. Nevertheless I've heard a few trustworthy Zep scholars label it as a standout on Physical Graffiti. I'm personally not a big fan of the Zeppelin version but Buckley does a commendable job of making it his own (as he has a way of doing).
If for no other reason, this song is worth listening to solely for the note Buckley hits at 5:00. Don't listen too loud if you don't want to be picking up broken glass.
The second cover worth mentioning is Dream Theater's Zeppelin medley, a concept so overwhelming you have no choice but to turn immediately to the most severe skepticism upon first hearing about it. Surprisingly though, all 7:25 seconds of this masterpiece displays nothing but dedication and commitment to a band that shaped all music thereafter. The songs covered are The Rover->Achilles Last Stand->The Song Remains The Same. Ignore the fact that the video is taken from Guitar Hero.
Note: All music posted on this blog MUST be listened to either with headphones or a good sound system in order to attain the full effect.
