using your criterion, i find that rickie lee jones' versions of something
cool and lush life are, in my never humble opinion, the definitive versions.
by the way, bruce's idea is my way of approaching a cover.

Asunto: definitive covers


My thought on this was not covers that we think are 'better' than the
originals or became bigger hits but, rather, new approaches to the songs, in
tempo, instrumentation, or attitude,  that substantially reconceptualized
the tunes to such an extent that the new versions pretty much became the
definitive treatments.
