18. "landslide," dixie chicks
such a natural fit it's amazing they hadn't done it before. one of steve nicks' finest moments as a songwriter, "landslide" gets a semi-radical overhaul at the hands of the chicks, replacing its gauzy '70s production with stripped-down guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, and bass. their perfect vocal harmonies work better than stevie being multi-tracked, as well. a rare cover version which exceeds the original.
