Rod Stewarts was also a cover, the original was recorded by Chris Farlow round about 66/67 and written by Mike D'Arbo of Manfred Mann fame.
Roxy Music Jealous Guy Fantastic tribute to John Lennon The Carpenters. Ticket to Ride Karen Carpenter taken from us way too early
Awesome mixtape Vol 1 Also... .... Future Islands - Singles ..... Hozier - Hozier ..... Foo Fighters - Sonic Highways .... Porter Robinson- Worlds
I missed the cover version bit. I would therefore say the Radio 1 live lounge 2014 Album is good but...... Gene - Say a little prayer The Clash - I fought the Law The Jam - Move on Up
Theme from Cheers - The Wedding Present Cum On Feel The Noize - Oasis Rent - Carter USM Just Like Heaven - Dinosaur Jr
I love cover versions, but only if the ones that remake the song in a different way. So am a big fan of "Me First and the Gimmes Gimmes" and Snuff - particularly Flibbiddydibbiddydob which includes covers of the "Shake n Vac" and "Qwik Fit Fitter" jingles Most of the Cash covers on the American Man albums are worth a mention, but Hurt and Personal Jesus are the stand-out ones. Much as I love covers though I can't stand the whole X-Factor Karaoke style covers that are invariably worse than the original.

Re: The Futureheads - Hounds Of Love Seriously!!! A poor novelty record on a par with Paedo Harris', Stairway to Heaven. Whilst I'm at it...no way is the Cash version better than NiN.
