Almost every cover version that James Taylor has done,especially 'Handyman' and 'How sweet it is',but definitely NOT 'Day Tripper'!He did not get that one right. :oops:

Sraightjacket Fits ; So long Marianne (Leonard Cohen)
Nirvana ;The man who sold the World (David Bowie)
Stevie Ray Vaughan ;Little Wing (Jimi Hendreix?)
Also like Snakefingers' cover of The Model (Kraftwerk)
Wall of Voodoos' cover of Ring of Fire (Cash/Carter)

I forgot about this! This IS an absolutely AMAZING cover. I couldn't believe how intense this got.

the Melvins do incredible versions of Flipper tunes, Youth of America, The Green Manalishi and etc.

their versions of Lexicon Devil is far better then the Germs original...

I rather like the meddly of early pop songs on The Carpenter's "Now & Then" album. The whole album never ceases to raise my mood.

Wow.

That's like the most beautiful girl in the world, in a yellow dress, smiling - nay laughing, in a cornfield.

It's f**k**g gorgeous.
