Good one, love that version

Another one I'd add, hopefully hasn't been mentioned, is the Smashing Pumpkins version of Landslide, or even the Glee one for that matter.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Robert Palmers vocals are still miles better plus it doesn't work as a slowed down song. Tina Turners live version is actual pretty good and does the orginal version more justice.
