Meeting over. Yes, that's quite nice, albeit it sounds like it was recorded before the original, if you see what I mean. I saw Andrew Eldrich and chums do that in London, somewhere, in around 2000. Rather a lot of waist training on show among female members of the audience

I love the original of this, but this cover is absolutely magical. I'm sure I posted it on the thread a few years ago. Ironically the Lacuna Coil track I posted above is a cover of one of theirs.

ps one of the most fantastic endings to a track ever.

I didn't know it was a Pretenders song!

Spank? No but it’s a great alternative version imo

Regarded as one of Steview Wonder's shittier efforts, this reggae cover by John Holt is pure class

Context is everything. The original was beautiful. This just makes you shed a tear.

Heard the original - "Downtown Train" - by Tom Waits on Planet Rock earlier today. His song but Rod Stewart did it better.

Ok, it's not 'better' but definitely different...
