    A cover of an original by a band who made a reputation on covers. Still a great song.

    Yep, far worse. Shatner's cover was just naff, Boone's was an attempt to emasculate rock and roll

    Tutt-Tutt - given your post on the 1977 thread, what do you think of Mansun's cover of Shot by both Sides?

    Worst cover - All Saints version of Under The Bridge. Insipid.

    Black Crowes - Hard To Handle

    Johnny Cash covering Nick Lowe's The Beast In Me
    Have to agree with the Black Crowes choice, sometimes I think it betters Otis's original.
    As for Johnny Cash, would have to pick his cover of 'Hurt'. Truly beautiful.

    The Ventures 'Walk Don't Run' led to a classic cover version by The Pink Fairies.

    Not sure where I stand on Say Hello, Wave Goodbye by David Gray.

    It's either great or shite - what do you think?
