… your favourite cover? Bad Wolves did an amazing cover of Zombie, though no one could ever outdo Dolores! Adele rocks Dylan’s Make a you Feel my Love and of course Prince wrote Nothing Compares to You which Sinead O’Connor made her own. What’s your favourite?

Metallica’s Whiskey in the Jar is a cracking version.

The White Stripes have a quirky take on Jolene too.

That's a tough one, Johnny Cash cover of hurt has to be one though, My Morning Jacket cover of Rocketman is another.

Travis and Bare Naked Ladies did Brittney Spears Hit me baby one more time.

Joe Cocker does with a little help from my friends. Which is a massive improvement on the original. Which I personally don't like.

Dave Edmunds Girls Talk.. written n later (badly!) recorded by Elvis Costello ...although I dont know if its technically a cover version in this case given that Edmunds version was recorded first ...does that mean that Costellos version is the cover version? ...questions only a pure music nerd could (or should?) love ...anyhow i reckon Edmunds vers is much better than Costellos... n so is Robert Wyatts version of Shipbuilding too...

Jim White - King of the Road. A twisted, slightly sinister version of the old Roger Miller classic.

The Fall - There's a Ghost in My House. A weirdly faithful cover of the R Dean Taylor northern soul song, albeit barked in a Mancunian accent!
