DJ Scott: Most cover songs, like movie remakes, are irrelevant if not outright offensive.  But there are some diamonds among the heaping piles of dung, and this playlist is an attempt to highlight some of the better covers out there. DJ Kevy Pooh made a covers mix recently, so I’m differentiating my mix by playing both the original song and the cover version.
