Top 50 cover songs as determined by Telegraph (U.K.) critics

Given the occasional post on DU to name "best/worst cover song" this list seemed pretty interesting not only because it's not a usual topic for critical "best of" lists but also for some of the selections.

Outside of the top 10 there aren't many of the usual suspects either in the original song or covering artist line-up. Was pleasantly surprised to see two of my favorite covers listed (John Cale doing "Heartbreak Hotel" and Richard Thompson doing "Oops, I did it Again"

Doesn't look like Marvin Gaye's "Heard it through the grapevine" is in there.
