the cure....hello i love you(the doors)

[Pauro 76]

Muse "Feeling Good" originally covered by Nina Simone?
Red Hot Chilis "Higher Ground"
recent cover versions, Marilyn Manson's covers of "Tainted Love" and "Personal Jesus" were pretty good....

Marilyn Manson's covers of "Tainted Love" and "Personal Jesus" were pretty good....

To tell you the truth couldn't stand his version of either, though the Inspirals/ Soft Cell & Johnny Cash respectively mentioned above were better. Oh sorry My Bloody Valentines version of 'We've got all the time in the world' is perhaps the single best cover of all time.

The best cover ever in my opinion is Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.

12th you know your a man after my own heart, Old pumpkin head's versions of 'Anarchy in Timperely', 'Timperely Blues' and particularly his version of 'I should be so Lucky' are also highly recomended.

its a shame but i think there's a whole generation out there who've never been exposed to frank and his sidekick "little frank".

pat,maybe if we keep going on about him someone will take an interest

to the tune of (there aint no cure for)"the summertime blues"
"i sent little frank out to get me a visa"
"but little frankie brought me home a pepperoni pizza"

Not forgetting Franks cover of Campervan Bethoven's ''Take the skinhead's bowling''.

Touch of class.

I propose that at least once month we try to get a mention of Frank into a thread no matter on what subject, all the pups on the site will at least know something about the great man.

better still,lets lobby for a "frank sidebottom" forum

[The Good Son]

Frank was supposed to perform at half time during a match during the dark Bishopstown to publicise a benefit gig he was doing for the CCISA that night in The Village, but manager at the time Damien Richardson or maybe it was Plonk wouldn't allow it for some reason. In fairness to Rico he was the only one involved with CCFC that turned up for the gig that night along with Tony Eels, (despite the fact that the entire City team were on the guest list) and was apologetic about not allowing him to perform.

[Pat O' Banton]

Sorry to be resurrecting the thread again but I was reminded of The Farm's version of 'Stepping Stone' (The Monkeys) last night, not a great fan of the band in general, but this tunes a cracker.

[patsh]

And now I'm resurrecting it again to put in a mention for Talking Heads cover of Al Green's "Take me to the River".

robert palmers version of marvin gaye's mercy mercy me ain't bad either
