This SPANKED that other cover version that we should never talk about again.

 

[Pevenseagull]

now I rather like Wire, BUT ...........

 

[Flex Your Head]

WHOOPS! glaring omission

Well spotted and thanks for putting it right. An absolute all-time, drop-dead, emotionally drenched classic.

Radiohead's The Headmaster Ritual. It far from spanks it but just shows what a ****ing tune it is

 

[Pevenseagull]

the original takes some SPANKING

but this delivers

I love The Clash, but I prefer The Bartlebee's version of Garageland:



The Frente version of Bizarre Love Triangle mentioned earlier; I'm surprised that hasn't been used by a mobile phone company, supermarket chain, or car manufacturer in an ad yet. Seems to be all the rage - fragile, acoustic renditions of more famous songs.

Get your ears tested!!

Now this really does spank the Stones version

Very good shout.

I believe it was written by Jagger/Richards for Chris Farlowe, so does it count as a cover version? I guess so.

WHOOPS! glaring omission

Thanks for this - never heard it before.

Don't think it's better than the original but I really like it - it's certainly different from the Byrds

I love this one by The Sundays 'Wild Horses' (original by The Rolling Stones). Harriet Wheeler has a voice I could die for.

[Stato]

Nearly as good as The Cure's original and that must be pretty damn good.

 

[Beach Hut]

Uncle beat me to it by a minute !

Easily the greatest cover version ever - immense

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Adeles "make you feel my love" totally spanks Bob Dylan's original.

So does Garth Brooks

 

[BN9 BHA]

Easily the greatest cover version ever - immense

Agree with that 100%
