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.

    • There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...
    • So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
    • I thought I noticed the shop being redecorated the other day when I passed. Also the old Romeo Jones had some works going on, I think 
    • Leon came to sort out a lighting issue for us last week.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and gave clear, detailed advice about how to avoid in future.  Would highly recommend him.
