Jah Lush Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Oh God yes! I've always pretty much hated Frank Sinatra and any drunken old git in a pub who fancies himself doing a bit of "Frank" Please just shut it but this really is the canine's testicles.

bignumber5 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Guns 'n' Roses have done a few fantastic covers - their version of Live and Let Die is almost cartoonish (if it is possible to sound so), and their version of Knocking on Heavens Door is possibly the best version there is!For covers that are not so much better than the original but approach it so differently that it takes on a whole new form, the Tori Amos version of Smells Like Teen Spirit, performed as a solitary, emotional ballad and a tribute to Kurt, is chilling.

Keef Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 BN5, as a huge G N'R fan, I tip my hat to you sir!Eva Cassidy doing Kathy's song by Simon & Garfunkle, and Alanis Morissette doing King of pain by The Police (or was it just Sting) on her old unplugged album was very good.

Jah Lush Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I like Iggy Pop's upgrade of the fabulous Johnny Kidd & The Pirates song Shakin' All Over but it's hard to top the original.
