This is a cover music battle! Post what you believe to be the best covers of songs!

You know the drill....one song per round.

Reason:

So, scanning through these - while I like sound of silence, it’s a great cover: as a huge fan of the prodigy, the three way acoustic cover was just perfect. I felt the remainder of the covers on both sides were instantly forgettable - but these two were the only ones that really stood out.

On that basis, as a life long Prodigy fan, (RIP Keith), and someone who owned every one of their albums plus an out of space bootleg; this cover worked for me: completely different than the source material, in a unique and different style but still honouring the essence and feeling of the originals. I would have preferred breath - but can’t have anything.

On this basis, I’m giving this one to con.
