Top 10
At the expense of clogging up the sidebar, I've added my Top 10 cover songs based on ipod playcounts. Just curious... for any iTunes users, care to divulge what your #1 most played cover is?

I know you think me elitist, but go ahead and share your top covers... I promise not to mock you (unless it's Paul Brandt's Convoy). Surprise me. :)
Number One these days is "When the Levee Breaks" by Albert Kuvezin and Yat-Kha. I'm just freaking obsessed with it.
Strange that you mention it... just yesterday I found a world music compilation CD at the library that had this song on it. I agree that it rocks. Kuvezin's throaty "mmmmmm's" and growls are awesome, combined with nice beats and the plucking of some strange instrument.
I think I'm going to change the format of that top 10 to some sort of current top 5 because otherwise the list will almost never change... right now, I'm been constantly listening to The F-Ups' punk cover of All the Young Dudes. Look for that in a near future post.
