are sometimes hard to find. "Hurt" by Johnny Cash is often quoted. "All along the wacthtower" by Hendrix is another.
Any more out there?
One i enjoy is Rag Doll by Melanie."
I love HURT - it was recorded 2 weeks before he died I believe and it carries so much meaning |

"The 2 you mentioned are great covers. I always quite like Mansons version of tainted love, and AAF version of smooth criminal too."
I prefer Marilyn Manson's version of Eurythmics Sweet Dreams. |
