TJ - have you heard Senor Coconut doing Autobahn? - the proper album version with the cars starting (or not) is hilarious, could only see rubbish live versions on you tube.

Rage's cover of The Ghost of Tom Joad by Bruce Springsteen.

And I'm not sure it's better, but Luther Wright and the Wrongs' country version of the entirety of Floyd's The Wall is definitely worth a listen.

Another vote for Ryan Adams but reckon "Always on my Mind" (the Elvis classic) is a blinder. The bloke sure knows how to send shivers down my spine.

The doubtful guest's version of Josh Ritter's Harrisburg (not done justice by [url=

) but playing in the Wine Vaults Bath on Friday

Or maybe Nick Cave's Somethings gotten hold of my heart. maybe

Very dissapointed by Cash's Hurt. NIN original much better IMO.
