Scunthorpe

One of my all time favourite songs is Caravan of Love by the Housemartins. . an incredible re-imagining of an Isles Brothers B-Side

I also quite like Cats in the Cradle as done by Ugly Kid Joe

GnR Sympathy for the Devil originally by the 'Stones- a decent cover. Also Live and Let Die wasnt too shabby either.

And related to that the cover of GnR Sweet Child o' Mine by Taken by Trees x

As much as I love listening to Mr Cash, DM will never be bettered with Personal Jesus. jC's version of Hurt is great, but go see NIN do it live, it's one of the highlights of the 1000+ gigs I've been to
