L

The Wurzels' britpop album, but particularly Country House, Don't Look Back in Anger ('at least not today, moi babi') and a frankly x-rated It Wasn't Me.

I like that one too, I was really surprised when I heard it.

How about Metallica's cover of Killing Joke's "The Wait?"

I preferred their cover of Thin Lizzy's 'Whiskey In The Jar' personally.

Don't open that can of worms!

Anyway, sid's verson of Something Else had a lot more bollocks than the original

Oh and Elbow's Independent Woman gets a lot of Northern points.

I've got a Japanese import of a Carter USM EP where they do just covers, and their version of "Panic" by The Smiths is possibly better. The song seems to suit the cockney rasp more than Morrisey's foppish tones (which I still like).
