Just a few off the top of my head...


Better than the original:

Stevie Wonder - We Can Work It Out

Ken Boothe - Ain't No Sunshine

Johnny Cash - Hurt


Not better than the original, but still great:

The Jam - Heatwave

Nirvana - Man Who Sold The World

Specials - Monkey Man


Reasonable / interesting:

China Drum - Wuthering Heights

Joss Stone - Fell in love with a Boy

Ben Folds - Bitches Ain't Shit


Significantly Worse:

Candy Flip - Strawberry Fields

Sugarbabes - I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor

The entire commitments soundtrack

Guns 'n' Roses have done a few fantastic covers - their version of Live and Let Die is almost cartoonish (if it is possible to sound so), and their version of Knocking on Heavens Door is possibly the best version there is!


For covers that are not so much better than the original but approach it so differently that it takes on a whole new form, the Tori Amos version of Smells Like Teen Spirit, performed as a solitary, emotional ballad and a tribute to Kurt, is chilling.

    • I'd like to post a recommendation for Jerry Oscar of H.F.U. Ltd.   Jerry has just completed the renovation of my bathroom and I’m so happy with how it turned out.  My bathroom has a strange layout (with about a quarter of the room/floor space un-useable due to the stairs underneath), but he came up with some great ideas that have really made the most of the space - somehow he turned the room into a tardis and made room for a bath (previously only had a shower) AND even given me extra storage. He's a magician!  I felt he really cares about what he does and treated the project like it was his own home. He was also great to have around – super friendly, easy to talk to and raise any queries or concerns with the project, and he was very respectful of the space. He kept his tools tidy and made sure the bathroom was still usable while he worked, which made a big difference day to day. He doesn’t cut corners and clearly has high standards.  I’m honestly so pleased with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for someone reliable and skilled, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jerry. He does kitchens too, and if I ever redo mine, I’ll be giving him a call.

    • These Gents are amazing, we asked them to come and paint our whole house interior and fix a number of issues from previous paint jobs. They are professional, clean up after themselves and pay attention to every detail. Their work is outstanding and I can't recommend them enough, Brian and Malachi are incredible. 
    • Fabion is an experienced plumber. I was connected with Fabion through an App when I had an emergency issue with my water tank in the loft. He fixed it.  He also came back to replace my taps in the kitchen. Since then Fabion has been able to help me with the following:  1. Putting up blinds - immaculate 2. Dismantling and reassembling beds x2 (30 mins flat)  3. Taking down big old doors Extremely professional. Clean - never leaves a mess. SO fast. Attends when he say he's going to attend. Friendly and kind.  I cannot recommend him more highly.     
    • Hi would be grateful for any recommendations. It is for a special birthday. One of the party is vegetarian. Thanks
