Listeners Send In Their Cover Songs That Are Better Than Original
We gave some of the answers we've seen and our opinions on who we believed did a cover song even better than the original. Now see listeners song picks! There was recently a question on Twitter, "Which cover song do you think is better than the original?" There have been plenty of opinions about various songs, both on social media and within the morning show crew. I think it's safe to say Johnny Cash's "Hurt" blew Nine Inch Nail's original out of the water. Many also don't even realize that Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" is actually a cover of Dolly Parton's tune. We put plenty of covers up for debate and got many responses from our listeners on our Facebook chat.
