Channel 4 (I think) did a feature on Eurovision a few years back and it featured two excellent Cover Versions. Keneckie did Brotherhood of Mans' 'Save All Your Kisses For Me' and Shane McGowan and The Popes did Johnny whatsisface' 'What's Another Year?'
I detest Eurovision but both those were quality.
Ian Brown - Billie Jean
Oasis - I Am The Walrus (circa 94)
The Lemonheads - Mrs Robinson
Does "Walking with Jesus" - Spiritualized actually count or is Spacemen 3 too close?
Lots of Cash ones on the "American" albums. I would've put down his coming back to prominence down to those albums rather than the film tbh, but I wouldn't have thought he slipped that far from the consciousness of music people, would he? The scousers would claim credit for feckin anything if they're attempting to claim credit for the Cash revival...
Leather Nun: Gimme Gimme Gimme (Abba)
there is a country band called hem who have an album waiting for tom. has two cracking cover versions on it.
south central rain - REM and the criminally underated - radiation vibe by the fountains of wayne.
check them out on itunes - well worth the 1.98€
Gabba -Gimme Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment at MidnightQuote:

Every cover version The Clash did.
California Über Alles - The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy
It's A Heartache - Arab Strap
Shiny Happy People - Fatima Mansions
The Klaxons - It's Not Over Yet.
Isn't this a dance tune from a few years back that I thought at the time was yer wan from Texas but wasn't? It's a better version if so.
It was a hit around 1995 as i recall , Grace I think the artist was called,
Some other ones I like
Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats
Futureheads - Hounds of Love
Placebo - Running up that Hill
Manic Street Preachers - Suicide is Painless

I already said Hounds Of Love too!!!! :( :p :D
Love their version of You Shook Me All Night Long tooQuote:

Chris Cornell does a superb version of this on his new album.
Listening to Grant Lee Philips covers album at the moment. Does some good versions of some 80s tunes.
There was surprisingly good remix of Bob Marley's Sun Is Shining a few years ago, can't think who did it though
Funkstar Deluxe. That was class.Quote:

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but if we haven't then Finger of Shame at the whole board
Faith No More - Easy
I'm almost sure it was mentioned as a particularly pointless cover way further back? Now if you'd said Faith No More - "I Started A Joke" on the other hand... there was a cover ;)Quote:
