Futureheads nailed that cover.

Staying with Kate Bush, Placebo did a good ‘Running Up That Hill’.

‘Sweet Dreams’ - Marilyn Manson

‘Can’t get you out of my head’ - The Flaming Lips

‘ Hallelujah’ - Jeff Buckley

As far as break up songs go that was a pretty optimistic one. I liked that one, it helped make up for Cher.

Cher is a funny fish in some ways . I think vastly underrated . Her voice is very rare (wiki says contralto, lowest there is). She has the best selling single of all time by a female. Has a Grammy Emmy and Oscar . Has had number 1s in each decade since the 60s. Plus all the LGBT activism . All that in one life time

Her voice is incredible, like brown sugar sprinkling into a warm pan & just starting to melt. Strong & smooth.

Very little footage online. Not a mobile phone in sight I'd imagine. The way it should be.
