			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A while back, a friend (<a href="http://www.stevenology.com/friends/" target="_self">John M</a>) emailed me a list of what he thought were the best cover songs ever. You know, where an artist does a version of a song originally done by someone else? His picks are down below, but before that, I&#8217;ll say that other people also received the email and started to list their own favorite cover songs. I even listed a few off the top of my head. And the more I ponder it, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll think of plenty of others too so I may revisit this post category from time to time.</p>
<p>My first picks are down below too, along with the other people&#8217;s. Read John&#8217;s and the other picks below, see if you agree or disagree. Then feel free to let me know your opinions and maybe some of <em>your</em> picks.  You can <a href="http://www.stevenology.com/contact-me/" target="_self">email me</a> or just leave a comment below.</p>
