music: in which some artists cover the beloved classics and i actually don't want to throw something against the wall

the thing is,

i got me some hippie in my soul

so if you're going to cover the 60s and 70s...

trust that ima be fiercely defensive of the original

with that said,

i am delighted by each of the following.

and that's saying something when we're talking about james taylor, simon and garfunkel, and jackson 5, yo.
