[Pevenseagull]

Nomination:

Nina Simone - To Love Somebody

 

[Wilts]

Definitely NOT Stand By Me by John Lennon... as much as I like Lennon, that version is shite.

Best cover IMO: Don't Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston... also the Communards version was pretty good as far as 80s tunes go.

"How Deep Is Your Love ?" - Take That

[Eddie the Seagull]

I heard Celine Dions cover of Roy Orbisons "I drove all night" earlier on a TV ad - that was pretty cool.

So I visited Kazaa & downloaded her version + a Cyndi Lauper v's Roy Orbison version.

Great covers IMHO.

Anything by Me First And The Gimme Gimmes! a band made out of various punk bands doing nothing but covers, heres some tohers:
Goldfinger - Rio (Duran Duran)
Lunachicks - Heart Of Glass (Blondie) great cover!
Fenix TX - Tainted Love

[pishhead]

Check out Tatu's version of how soon is now by the smiths its not as awful as you would think. Kazaa it

 

[Pavilionaire]

Handbags and the Gladrags - Kelly Jones outdoes Rod, however the best cover might have to be David Watts by The Jam, a far superior version than The Kinks original.

Also, The Stranglers version of Walk On By is quality.

 

[sully]

Paul Young - Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)

Other than The Stranglers' Walk on By, that is.

Rolf Harris - Stairway to Heaven? (No, honest, I'm joking now!)
