Cover My Body In Sound

I am once again asking for your support...with finding the best cover songs.

The point of this recurring piece is to compile a list of solid cover songs across all genres. We'll also be ranking the songs that fall into those genres by thread count, i.e. do these covers get the job done and keep you feeling warm and cozy or do they rub against your skin like steel wool and make you question the friendship of the asshole who recommended it to you? As new songs are unearthed new genres will be added if applicable. Also if I misclassify a song into a genre Matt will beat me viciously.

Covers Thread Count Table:

Take a look at the list below for anything that may suit your state of mind. I jump around genres all the time so I find covers a great way to crossover between sounds and moods. We'll be adding to this list continually so any recommendations are appreciated.
