Top 100 Cover Songs Of All Time

[DudeAsInCool]

Stereogum notes that the NY Post has put together their seminal list of 100 Top Covers of all-time, but was quick to call them out for the ommission of The Knife's cover of Jose Gonzale's 'Heartbeats'. Stereogum's clever readership was quick to echo in with the neglect of other notable oversights.

What else should make this list, and what should be deleted?
