(I used to own the Spiritualized 12" of this, I flogged it a long while back)

Not sure this will be as popular as the classic and new music ones but based on the Beatles covers post I thought what the hell. Black Steel Cover by Tricky - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H3TqDu0Tmw Original by Public Enemy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PmsBpBKGIY |

A classic case of where the cover is way better than the original in my humble view. Blue Flower Cover by Pale Saints - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjntDB-U3Wk Original by Mazzy Star (although they first did the song when they were called Opal) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhIq5uk2hW8 |

Thursday Just a great song, a few versions here. A bit tricky to find YouTube vids with decent sound quality, so you might need to turn some of these up if you can be arsed to listen. The original written by Chip Taylor: The Troggs - Anyway That You Want Me (1966) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q48sA9siS4I Evie Sands used to sing on Chip Taylor's demos and released her own version in 1969: Evie Sands - Anyway That You Want Me (1969) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFW0wO3fAFw Jason Pierce wanted Spacemen 3 to cover it, by Sonic Boom decided against it so it only got to the demo stage: Spacemen 3 - Anyway That You Want Me (Demo 1988/9) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SZ3mYcNjMI So when Spacemen 3 split, he took the rest of the band and recorded it as Spritualized's debut single. I love all versions. Spiritualized - Anyway That You Want Me (1990) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsJcI__BON0 |

And when I couldn't decide which cover to choose! I LOVE the Evie Sands version but also the Spiritualized one. I too have it on 12". That's the 7" version there though because the other versions on YouTube were poor sound quality. |

I think the Pixies version is better because they do it faster and quicker ha ha.... Sorry Trev! Pixies - Head On (1991) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXSmYHEpn7w Jesus and Mary Chain - Head On (1989) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGp47YwDZ48 |

I'm not fussed with either version (don't really like the song, that much), despite being a massive Mary Chain fan and a big fan of the Pixies. |

I genuinely wouldn't have realised it was a woman if she hadn't been nicknamed Big Mama... Oh yeah the name fits. It sad but no real surprise that she died of a heart attack in her 50s. |
