Independent Woman- Elbow.

Erm...I guess I'd have to say Beautiful Day by Sanctus Real/U2. They did a VERY good job.

Yes! Most definitely that one. Can't say I'm a huge fan of Elbow normally, but their covers are totally bonkers.

Their latest Radio 1 session had me in stitches. On that topic, Jamelia did a really nice version of Numb by Linkin Park in the Live Lounge once.

Oh, I'm very fond of Elbow myself, but I see where you're coming from. Independent Woman is brilliant. I expecially like him singing 'girl i didn't know you could get down like that'- really makes me laugh.

Hm, I do enjoy "Thoughtless" by Evanescence a lot. I also like Britney Spears cover of "My Prerogative".

Oh, I adore Nickel Creek's cover of "Spit on a Stranger." I find I enjoy it quite a bit more than Pavement's original. That's the only cover that I just absolutely love that I can think of.
