1. Twist & Shout, The Beatles (pure fun, so good you forget it was originally an Isley Brothers song 2. Hallelujah , Jeff Buckley (Leonard Cohen writes great songs, but Buckley sings it better than anyone. The Jon Bon Jovi cover of this song should not be on any top 5 lists. 3. Hazy Shade of Winter, The Bangles (just better than Simon & Garfunkel) 4. Hard to Handle, The Black Crowes (pure rock bliss) 5. All Along the Watchtower, Jimi Hendrix (simply the best cover song ever).
Bonus Holiday Track: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band's "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" (come on, its the Boss)
Top 5 desert island covers for my money...
