    I dunno what it is about OASIS

    but they just seem to "plod" a bit for my tastes.

    I prefer the original in this case. But then again, I would....

    The killers - Romeo and Juliet, The Stereophonics - Substitute

    At least two cover songs better than that one, and that's before I've even thought about the likes of Bob Dylan, Aerosmith and Rod Stewart.

    All down to personal opinion I guess

    Good call - Also Jealous Guy - Roxy Musics cover of the Lennon original

    Not many covers are better than the original but the above 2 are

    There are a few more but not too many

    That Oasis one isnt as good as the Slade orignal

    I've heard Foo Fighters.....

    Band On The Run - very good, Radio 1 Est.1967 is a good album for covers, generally some good stuff on Radio 1 Live Lounge as well!
