At Star's suggestion, I was hunting Credence Clearwater Revival's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" and noted that there are actually a number of artists who liked this song well enough to cover it. First, the original:
Next, The Ramones:
Next, early R.E.M. (who knew Michael Stipe once had hair?):
Rod Stewart does a pretty good version of this classic, but embedding was disabled. Hmmm. Where can a getting a scratchy-voiced blonde to do this song? Ah, yes! Bonnie Tyler oughta do:
Hey, Joan Jett loves it, too:
Saw a "Beatle-esque" version of this by the Jeevas that I rather enjoyed:
In the end, it'll probably be CCR that makes the cut, but if there are two or three comments about another of these versions, well, who am I to argue?

You're a funny guy, John.
