I love the original of this one by Roy Orbison, brilliant, but i grew up listening to this one, so this remains my favourite:

Drove all night Cyndi Lauper:

Devo - Morning Dew (Bonnie Dobson)

Nazareth - Shapes Of Things (The Yardbirds)

Die Toten Hosen- Whole Wide World, sorry for the annoying intro




Cake- Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps

Oh yeah, and how could i have forgotten Red Hot Chili Peppers' cover of Havana Affair?!!

Originally written and recorded by Florence Reece but made famous by the great Pete Seeger, here are two fantastic, and different versions of the same song.

Thats a really pretty vesion of imagine isn't it, really like it.

Like the sterophonics cover of 'nothing compares 2 u' too, not heard that before. I have the 1st 2 albums, haven't bought any cd's for ages, usually download anything i like now, easier and cheaper

yep...her voice is so beautiful...it's just
And that phonics version of nothing compares 2 u, is from a war-child album... the charity CD's... some really cool tunes on em..
I download most mine...or did anyway.
have just about all the music i ever wanted

But there's always more

This song was originally written and recorded by Sonny Curtis of The Crickets but was made famous by The Clash.
Here are two lesser known, but very good covers of this great song.

Bobby Fuller Four - I Fought The Law



Mike Ness - I Fought The Law



Oh, and will throw this in for good measure, Jello Biafra's unique take on things....

Dead Kennedy's - I Fought The Law

Prefer the original... but this version is cool too..

the clash - police and thieves
