Cover Versions

Here's a theme: Covers of Hendrix tunes.

These covers by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Belly are awesome. I believe 'better or not' is irrelevant for these two, as they are performed in a spirit the great man himself would approve of...

Dylan: whilst I've got quite a bit of time for him, I could happily get by with just Subterranean Homesick Blues, and there's not a lot of point in covering that one.

Mick, since you clearly know your stuff here's another one: Minor Threat doing 12XU by Wire, (turning a 2 minute song into a 1 minute one without leaving anything out).

The Gloria Jones and Marc Almond are top draw IMO both classics, dont know if I can say the same for marilyn. especially Gloria Jones takes me back to the Northern Soul days when we ran trips up to Wigan casino, great times still love Soul R&B and good old Northern soul.

Continuing the Neil Young theme, I've always liked the Stereophonics cover of Heart of Gold.
