Eileen Rafferty covering Frankie Miller's Caledonia is good.

Caledonia was by Dougie Maclean altho Frankie had the big hit with it.

Fave covers... hmmm

Marillion's cover of Fake Plastic Tree's

Fish's cover of Black Night

Barenaked Ladies cover of anything in the live show

Queen's cover of Tutti Fruitti

Marillion's cover of Abraham, Martin and John

Speaking of covers of Caledoinia's,. Fish and the SAHBs cover of Caledonia rocks...

Loads :p

Cheers

Stuart

Faith no More V Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us (Not strictly a cover, but truly ace!)

Rob Zombie - Blitzkreig Bop (Ramones) (Sounds nowt like original, but is amazing)

Dangerfields - R.A.M.O.N.E.S. (Mothorhead) or AstroZombies (Misfits) (A zillion times faster than the originals - just the way we like it)

Everclear - Sin City (AC/DC) (By rights you shouldnae touch Bon's songs, but I think this is really rockin'!)

Karloff - Jezabel (so ancient I canne mind) (Ant should give the finger more often rather than doing the "fist in the air thing" at the drum break, don't you think?)

Loads and loads more - I could talk about this all day - I love cover versions, I cannae remember all the ones I have off the top of my head!!

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but my pedantic side wants to tell you that Prince wrote 'Nothing Compares 2 U' for his act, '"The Family". He also recorded a live version himself for his greatest hits package... :p
