Yeah I'd have to agree with that one. Ultimate coverage. He owns the song, most artists don't own their covers.

When are your holiday breaks at your firm anyway? You seem to balance your time quite well, if you're still hitting the office each day.

Also i-love-maynard, ok thanks for the notice. Tomatoe tomato.

What about Soft Cell's Tainted Love?

I really like Patti Smith's Gloria.

And Bryan Ferry's A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall.

I didn't mind motley crue's helter skelter. I don't enjoy their Anarchy in the UK, though.

Nirvana has done some good covers, like The man who sold the world and Where did you sleep last night.

Van Halen did a good job on You Really Got Me too i reckon.
Megadeth's cover of Paranoid.
Motley Crue's cover of helter skelter.

I'll probably be skinned alive for this but i should say that i adore most of the other songs by the original artist :eek:

Ryan Adams cover of Oasis' wonderwall.

Also tainted love was 'covered' better by rihanna. SOS was heavily influenced by it :shy:

Was already a cover of the Jazz's version of Wonderwall.

APC's version of Imagine but killed When The Levee Breaks.

&
Tori Amos' cover of Eminem's '97 Bonnie&Clyde - it's just so creepy it's awesome.

oh in that case my bad. i heard from some music freaks in high school that they heard two versions of wonderwall and that the music teacher hated oasis' version was shit and that the original one was done by a jazz guy.

Cradle of Filth's Iron Maiden cover of Fear of the Dark.
