Covers Project
The covers project is essentially a website which is a huge archive of all kinds of music covers. Basically you can go to the website and search up a band, for example Thin Lizzy. When you go to their section it will list every song that the band has covered, who the original artist is, and what album the song is featured on. Furthermore after the list of all the songs they have covered is a list of every song other artists have covered. Making things even handier are links to find and purchase the album on itunes and amazon as well as the option to post it on twitter and facebook. It's a cool little site that you can easily kill a lot of time just looking through your favorite artists and seeing what they have done.
