00:13elevated Coen's song into an intimate spiritual experience.
00:17Number 9 Soft Cell's Tainted Love
00:21By slowing Jones' original with icy synths, Soft Cell turned a Motown Stomper into a cold
00:26alienated 80s anthem.
00:29Number 8 Johnny Cash's Hurt
00:32Cash's weathered baritone and stark production transformed Nine Inch Nails' angst into a
00:37profound mortality-haunted reckoning.
00:40Number 7 Aretha Franklin's Respect
00:43Franklin's feminist reframing added her iconic spelling and powerful demand, turning Redding's
00:48plea into a civil rights rallying cry.
00:51Number 6 The Beatles' Twist and Shout

01:11top-charting anthem of rebellion.
01:14Number 4

01:2480s pop feminism through quirky authenticity.
01:26Number 3 Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You
01:30Houston's orchestral build, from whispers to a seismic key change, transform Parton's country
01:36farewell into a universal power ballad.
01:39Number 2
01:40Sanit O'Connor's Nothing Compares to You
01:44O'Connor's spare arrangement and raw emotional delivery, highlighted by genuine tears in the video,
01:49redefined Prince's song.
01:51Number 1
