Top 30 Cover Songs Of All Time

This is a completely just for fun countdown I came up with to give Mecca Muzak Mondays a hiatus to reload with new songs.  Every Monday from March to September 2015, I will present the next song in my countdown honoring my favorite covers of all time.  To see some background on this countdown, as well as the criteria I used in ordering songs, please read this post.
