Музикалното наследство на Leonard Cohen безспорно е огромно, тук бих искал да представя няколко кавъра на негови песни, изпълнени от другите големи. През годините негови песни са изпълнявани от R.E.M., The Cat Empire, Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Johnny Cash, Tori Amos, Jarvis Cocker (Pulp), Sting with The Chieftains, James, Elton John, U2, Jeff Buckley... И няколко цитата:
“You moved in slow degrees/ A sudden memory/ You’re a Leonard Cohen song”
–Better Than Ezra, “Under You”
“But I was caught, like a fleeting thought/ Stuck inside Leonard Cohen’s mind”
–Mercury Rev, “A Drop In Time”
“Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld/ So I can sigh eternally”
–Nirvana, “Pennyroyal Tea”
