Gimme Shelter - Sisters of Mercy

Comfortably Numb - Sisters of Mercy

Anyone see a trend here :unsure:

Seriously, it's a cracking version (and I quite like the Sisters)

You do you know. It's just a pity you've probably only heard the awful version of 'Here's where the story ends' by Tin Tin Out :(

The Sunday's debut album is a thing or beauty.

i take it you mean i know more than that song! i do know that tin tin out song......

that is another i will be looking into!! cheers! :D

Love is all Around - The Wets

That song really p*ssed me off for ripping off REM on two counts.

On the REM video "This Film is On" there is the video of "Radio Song" featuring the band playing the track in a room whilst passing bits of card around (onto which film is being priojected). Then comes a great MTV unplugged live version of "Love is all around" with Mick Mills singing the lead.

Soon after, the W*nks release "Love is all around" and the video features......the band playing the track in a room whilst passing bits of card around (onto which film is being projected). :angry:

Otis Redding - A Change Is Gonna Come ... (I could have listed five of his cover versions alone. Easy)

Oasis - I Am The Walrus ... (I think most of their covers are awful but this version is far ahead of the original - which I don't rate at all)

Aretha Franklin - I Say A Little Prayer

Stevie Wonder - We Can Work It Out

Black Crowes - Hard To Handle

David Bowie and Mick Jagger doing Dancing In The Street has to be the worst.

Metallica - Tuesdays Gone

Metallica - Turn the Page

Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar

Guns n Roses - Live and Let Die

Guns n Roses - Knockin' on Heavens Door

I was going to change this as it only encompasses 2 bands.

But after thinking about it, these are actually my favourite cover versions (although it is subject to change, depending on my mood)

Every single one is fantastic.
