I would've added it to my list if you hadn't. Jeff's version is so good the Cohen original sounds like a cover to me these days.
Also, the only other song besides Cash's rendition of Hurt that will move me to tears on every listen.

Some of these are a bit more obscure, but I think these deserve mention for either transforming or faithfully updating the original songs:
Visigoth covering Necropolis by Manila road: https://youtu.be/QWixcWq1HPk
Cradle of filth covering Temptation by Heaven 17: https://youtu.be/MfMa2lrFxhY
The unseen covering Paint it black by the Rolling Stones: https://youtu.be/QAowDvxJN1A
Type O Negative covering Cinnamon girl by Neil Young: https://youtu.be/BO9aD4mzSE8
Electric Callboy covering Everytime we touch by Cascada: https://youtu.be/AuBXeF5acqE
Marylin Mansion covering Tainted love by Soft Cell: https://youtu.be/srcb-zmKDOE
HIM covering Wicked game by Chris Isaak: https://youtu.be/8oYodfK4DkE
And who can forget the Guns and Roses cover of Knocking on Heaven's door by Bob Dylan: https://youtu.be/k04tX2fvh0o (I'm pretty sure this is another case of a super popular cover eclipsing the original by another super star)
[Edit] Forgot this amazing cover of Pink Floyd's Welcome to the machine by Shadows Fall: https://youtu.be/kvMDk3M3c1c
There have been countless covers of "while my guitar gently weeps" but I think none of them were as flamboyant as the collaboration between Dani Harrison, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lyne, and of course Prince.
I don't agree with folks saying this is the best guitar solo ever but man does Prince pour his heart and soul into it.
Yeah, I have seen that exact same thing happen over in Europe "the conservative party fucked us over for xx years. Time to vote for the even harder right-wing populist." It makes me wonder what folks are thinking? Is this a "the only way out is through" mentality or am I missing something?
It's disheartening to see these folks with extremist views and conspiratorial beliefs make it into government. I can understand some people being frustrated with the NDP government, but to vote this extremist seems like a knee-jerk overreaction. Honestly, we need proportional representation to avoid this kind of polarization before it results in even more extremist folks making it into office.
Such a shame Jon went off the deep end and killed the band in the process. Iced Earth used to be one of my favorite bands, but I haven't listened to them any more since the insurrection.
That said, in hindsight, the signs were there for a long time. It's just that I didn't expect him to go so far down the rabbit hole.
Poltava part 2 - this time it's personal.
I sold mine one recently and went with a HTV Vive Cosmos pro so I can keep using my Windows specific VR games. Sucks to have them kill my less than 1 year old Christmas gift, but it didn't really feel like there was much that I could do about it.
Yeah, I'm gonna go and suggest the GST vacation is probably a "costly political gimmick". Honestly, I'm with her on not signing off on that.
I'll be looking forward to the next disinformation campaign demonizing a system the rest of the world collectively uses to great success because "it doesn't work here".
If only that era of movies hadn't spawned a TV Trope that sadly coloured these folks' perceptions on strong, independent, rough and tumble women: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VasquezAlwaysDies
Wow. Never heard this version of the song, but man did Chvrches knock out it the park. It's almost unrecognizable but familiar at the same time.
