Metallica are....off my radar. So this spanks the original. Love the 'tubular bells'. And that is a refrain from.....?

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

As much as I like "Holy Diver" by Dio, I would take Killswitch Engage's cover over the original every day of the week



Also, a fabulous synthwave cover of the Michael Sembello song. Even better when seeing Carpenter Brut close their sets with this

Well, Iggy, you and your Stooges are good, but I still say your "Search and Destroy" is an insipid milk chocolate digestive compared to the fullsome plain chocolate digestive of The Dictators.

I was absolutely taken aback when I stumbled upon this gem. I love the original version but this is so different and well reworked and arranged. I would love to have been at that performance.

Spank may be a bit strong and there are no other cover versions of Dusty Springfield songs that I prefer but this one is fantastic. Sorry youngsters you may prefer to give this smoochy old song a miss until you are much older
