Original songs and the best cover versions

[MK Shrimper]

Placebo's cover of Running Up That Hill is significantly better than Kate Bush's.

Just not possible, the entire Hounds of Love album is unsurpassable, including that awful cover of Hounds of Love.

 

[RHB]

Poor show RHB....Wittertainment is an excellent show (Mayo & Kermode, R5 film show)! Get yourself converted and say hello to Jason Isaacs.

They have a playlist and (I think 'cos I can't see it at work) this was on it. I 'unking hated it.

Life's about opinions MK. You have yours and they are unique. The fact that you didn't like the track suggested that you are, however, talking bollocks, on this occasion only obviously.

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Genuinely thought this was going to be your cover of Suspicious Minds.

Not sure if this counts as Terry Hall was a co writer however, the Go Go's did release the first version (Jane Weidin was the other co writer)

This is one of many covers of a Dylan song which was so much better
