Has anyone seen the new compilation "Inspired"?

It's supposed to feature the worlds greatest covers. But what cover versions would you have put on the album? Personally I think they made a big mistake with Motorhead and their cover of "Louie, Louie". I mean come on, no way is it better than The Kingsmen's version. I bet the person who compiled the album thought that The Kingsmen was the original version.

Apart from The Kingsmen, I would have put the following covers on -
"September Gurls" - Squire
"Between The Wars" - Nightwatch
"I Fought The Law" - The Clash
"She Said, She Said" - The Chords

Disc: 1
1. Thinking Of You - Paul Weller
2. Wonderwall - Ryan Adams
3. Everybody's Talkin' - Beautiful South
4. Mad World - M. Andrews And G. Jules
5. High And Dry - Jamie Cullum
6. I Don't Want To Talk About It - Everything But The Girl
7. Fields Of Gold - Eva Cassidy
8. Mr Tambourine Man - The Byrds
9. Mighty Quinn - Manfred Mann
10. Dancing In The Moonlight - Toploader
11. Revolution - Grandaddy
12. Teardrop - Elbow
13. Burning Down The House - Tom Jones
14. Just Be Good To Me - Beats International
15. Only Love Can Break Your Heart - Saint Etienne
16. Light My Fire - Al Green
17. Two Of Us - Aimee Mann
18. Les Fleurs - 4 Hero
19. Black Steel - Tricky

Disc: 2
1. Handbags And Gladrags - Stereophonics
2. Cum On Feel The Noise - Oasis
3. Step On - Happy Mondays
4. David Watts - The Jam
5. Jackie Wilson Said - Dexy's (sic) Midnight Runners
6. I'm A Believer - The Monkees
7. The Man Who Sold The World - Lulu
8. Born To Run - Frankie Goes To Hollywood
9. Louie Louie - Motorhead
10. Can't Stand Losing You - Feeder
11. Ziggy Stardust - Bauhaus
12. Tainted Love - Soft Cell
13. Victoria - The Fall
14. A Minha Menina - The Bees
15. Cracklin' Rosie - Shane MacGowan
16. Bad Moon Rising - Thea Gilmore
17. Norwegian Wood - Cornershop
18. A New England - Kirsty MacColl
19. Good Year For The Roses - Elvis Costello

Don't really know where to start with this one..

Orange Juice - Holiday Hymn
Astrud Gilberto - Windy
Dusty Springfield - Can I get a Witness
The Hollies - Can't Let Go
Dusty Springfield - If it don't work out
Luna - Sweet Child of Mine
Cud - Bohemian Rhapsody
Lemonheads - Different Drum
Yo La Tengo - Hanky Panky Know How

I'll probably have to come back with another post when I think of some more.

Incidently, there is a copy going of "alvin Lives in Leeds" on Ebay which features the aforementioned Cud cover if you haven't heard it

My favourite ever song is also a Dylan cover so that definately qualifies it.

All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley also gets a noticable mention, The Prodigy covered Ghost Town for a war child album last year, by no means better I took a liking to it.

Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation.

As long as there's sex and drugs, I can do without the Rock 'n' Roll....
