possibly with the exception of red hot chili peppers - higher ground

i don't mean to make any sweeping generalisations, but any boy/girl band cover is ****e.

some of the better ones:

aretha franklin - respect
lulu - shout
carpenters - close to you
madness - one step beyond / must be love
specials - take your pick. message to you, rudie / monkey man...
soft cell - tainted love
ub40 - red red wine. and for that matter...
tony tribe - red red wine
beat - tears of a clown
jeff buckley - hallelujah
teenage fanclub - like a virgin
wedding present - shaft (just to pick one from many)
dinosaur jr. - just like heaven
lemonheads - mrs. robinson
china drum - wuthering heights
jesus and mary chain - surfin' usa

The Beat also do a good cover version of Can't Get Used to Losing You by Andy Williams. Also the Ramones version Baby, I Love You is good. As well as the Sugababes Freak Like Me (Gary Numan).
