    David Bowie - Sorrow made the song his own.
    Roxy Music - Jealous Guy nicer arrangement than the original
    Something Happens - Borderline( originally by Madonna)....
    just guitar and voice works well.
    Annie Lennox - No More I love You's.... made the song her own
    Rolling Stones - It's All Over Now.. one of my favourite's by them

    As a bonus track on Manics new album theres a hidden cover of John Lennon's Working Class Hero. Quite good it is too. Id put White Stripes, I Dont Know What To Do With Myself in there too.

    Best : Guns N Roses with Dylan's Knocking on Heavens door.

    Worst : Cheryl Crowe doing same song.

    Best:

    Mark Ronson - Stop Me If You Think You've Heard this One Before

    I really really hated it at first, but its different and grew to really like after all. Even Morrissey liked it.

    [B]Worst[/B

    Mark Ronson - Oh My God feat Lily Allen

    Undid your good work mate. terrible terrible cover. Lily singing like she cant be arsed. And those blaring horns! Make it stop!

    That's a pish version. REM did a much better one on their MTV UNplugged session, with Mike Mills singing lead.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    ...should all be on a compilation called 'Rock N Rolls Greatest War Crimes'.

    Opportunistic pub rock, grand scale karaoke and cynical basking in the afterglow of greater talent.

    Very annoying, badly designed page. Like a fussy Bebo site.

    Its the theme tune to American show Charmed, have a Tv in the canteen at work and a load of woman watching the show, wanted to throw the TV though the window when I heard the tune.
