Quoting years at random since 1975
More sinned against than sinned. Faith No Mores' pointless regurgation of 'Easy' comes to mind.Steady Lionel!! - some of your tender love ballads are not above criticism!!!!

The ball is round and has many surprises.
They didn't exactly advertise the fact.Didn't know 'Step On' was a cover though, you really do live and learn!
Ceci n'est pas une signature
Sonic Youth's cover of Superstar by the Carpenters is pretty damn good.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
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...
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
