Covers that are better than the original
102My apologies for not reading through all 7 pages to see if anyone mentioned this or not, but I fucking LOVE the Jam's version of "Disguises" more than any version I've heard by the Who.

108The Jam - David Watts
Robyn Hitchcock - Bells of Rhymney
Cheap Trick - Ain't That A Shame (check that hot shot intro!)
Jon Brion -Voices
Geek - Night Moves On The Catwalk
Mudhoney - Revolution (pretty much a different song all together, but great)
Aimee Mann - One
And please don't think I'm sucking up, but I think Rapeman's "Just Got Paid" is better than the original, because it's more, well, "dude, I just got paid." It just sounds like a workin' class guy who's going to get him some damn beer.
I have to admit, the string quartet and piano version of the songs from OK Computer are pretty great.
And this, THIS is just a fine thing:

110No heresy there Tommy, they're all tip top choices although I love the Neil Young original of Only Love... too. For some reason I can't get enough of The Byrds at the moment.
No, this my son is heresy.
(One time sixties crooner hits rock bottom after falling from grace due continually splitting his trousers on stage. Lured from alcoholic oblivion into the studio in the 80s to sing utterly inappropriate cover versions. Terrifying! See also Tainted Love)
