Not technically a cover, but what’s that Dua Lipa/Elton John Cold Heart effort?! Not an EJ fan by any means but that song is an irritating mash up. I wish people would leave things alone 😂

Yes, the 1st Band Aid is the best, in my opinion obviously. Love the Gary Jules version of Depeche Mode's 'Mad World', although it really affects me and like Marilyn Manson's 'Personal Jesus'. Bad Wolves did a very good cover of 'Zombie'.

Tears for Fears, not Depeche Mode

I love Dear prudence - Siouxsie and the Banshees

Also Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles

Nadgers, yes of course, Depeche Mode did 'Personal Jesus' thanks. 🤔Of course, if they had done 'Mad World' it would have probably been quite good, albeit closely timed with the original.

Worst- Any cover of a Bob Dylan song. Just leave them alone!! You cant improve on perfection. I have just seen Brian Ferry murder some Dylan songs, Dylan is sat in the audience with a right face on him. But he must be used to it, all the tit covers he has had to hear over the years. He doesnt even pretend to like them now haha.

Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Guns N' Roses
Twist and Shout by The Beatles
Hurt by Johnny Cash
Tainted Love by Soft Cell
All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix

Everybody's Talkin' by Harry Nilsson
Proud Mary by Ike and Tina Turner
