Myself and my other music mad mate are compiling a Spotify playlist of great cover versions. Any input to be had.
Dissapointlingly there are some songs noit available such as Arcade Fire doing ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun’ and Teenage Fanclub covering Like a Virgin and Bright Eyes doing Elliott Smiths The Biggest Lie (my all time favourite)
Off the top of my head:
Belle and Sebastian – Here Comes The Sun, Boys are Back in Town, I’m Waitin’ For The Man.
Ben Folds-Tiny Dancer
The Flaming Lips- Bohemian Rhapsody, The Golden Age, Knives Out, Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
Happy Mondays-Step On
Jeff Buckley-Hallalujah
Johnny Cash-One, Hurt, Bridge Over Troubled Water, In My Life, We’ll Meet Again, I Won’t Back Down
Bellowhead-I Want To See Bright Lights Tonight
The White Stripes-Jolene, I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself
The Clash-I fought the Law, Police & Thieves
Oasis-I Am The Walrus
Tricky-Black Steel
The Housemartins-Caravan Of Love
Aretha Franklin-Respect
