"I like the Johnny Cash cover of Hurt, originally by Nine Inch Nails
This brings a tear to my eye 
I love Johnny Cash’s cover of Personal Jesus."
Just reminded me. A couple of years back, I went to see Lisa Hannigan gig in Belfast's Empire Music Hall. She cracked out a brilliant version of Personal Jesus. Cracking tune. |

I love a well done cover version, that takes the original and changes it almost to the point where you go "I know this but can't place it" - mostky can't stand the ones that are just a straight cover of the original though.
A few of my favourite covers:
It Must Be Love/One Step Beyond/Swan Lake - Madness
Hounds Of Love - The Futureheads
Heatwave - The Jam
Try A Little Tenderness - The Commitments
Police & Thieves - The Clash
Roll With It - The Bluebeaters
Doctor Who/Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps - The Simmertones
Wonderwall - Mike Flowers Pops
Feeling Good - Muse
Jackie Wilson Said - Dexys Midnight Runners
Can't Get Used To Losing You/Tears Of A Clown - The Beat
Guns Of Navarone - The Skatalites
The Sun & The Rain - Indeed |
