"Whitney Houston
I will always love you.
Whitney lungs were incredible
Dolly is a queen though. "
Whitney screams through this, Dolly's is much gentler, beautiful, heart felt. |

It’s not better than the original as I love Grace Jones. But it’s a great tribute to the song.
Sla*e to the Rhythm- Lady Blackbird and Trevor Horn.
Well worth a listen if you liked the original version. |

"Govt mule cover of "Cortez the killer" originaly by Neil Young "
although now that I think about it , Gillian Welch and David Rawlings do a version on acoustic guitars that's also pretty good

"Sunday morning coming down Johnny Cash, it was by Kris Kristofferson originally "
Jerry Lee Lewis does the best version of this, not a tune you’d necessarily associate with him but it’s really good.
Kris Kristofferson wrote some brilliant tunes that have been covered with distinction. |

"prince wrote the song but didn't perform it until long after sinead had a hit with it.
Jonny Cash Hurt is a no brainer"
Not sure about performing live but it was released on The Familys eponymous album a good few years before sinead did it
Not sure about best but probably one of the most popular/unknown: Blame it on the boogie - Jackson 5 (Mick Jackson) in a vinyl printing error both ended up being in the charts together due to close release dates |

Paper Town Central, Essex. |
Alone Again Or - The Damned (Arthur Lee & Love)
Muse - Feeling Good (Cy Grant)
Hurt - Johnny Cash (Nine Inch Nails)
Metallica - Whisky in The Jar (Thin Lizzy)
Cindy Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Robert Hazzard)

I'm not going to mention which version of Sound Of Silence I prefer. It depends on what sort of mood I'm in.
