I love a good cover, especially when sung by James Walsh. So here goes, this is flipping amazing and I just have to share it.

I would love it if you could tell me of some other brilliant covers.

[The Big Gill]

Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor
White Horses - Reel Macabre
Hurt - Johnny Cash (probably more to do with the video. They've just used it to close out the football, oddly enough)
Shipbuilding - Robert Wyatt
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Brand New Cadillac - The Clash
Tainted Love - Soft Cell
Hounds Of Love - Futureheads
Twee, maybe, but I liked the Nouvelle Vague album (loungey, tropicalia versions of 80'* ****, new wave etc.. Follow-up out now...
...also, I seem to remember a lot of bands fitting in 'Teenage Kicks' into their encore...

(oops - cross post - last one not aimed at you. Just marvelling at the pointlessness of the obscenity filter)

No, I am sweatio. Sorry to share that with you, but you did ask. Hope you're well - thought you were off to New York for the weekend?

This gets me thinking; I do also have a weakness for acts like Big Daddy, Hayseed Dixie and El Vez. Though not Dred Zep.
