I think Eddie Vedder did a great job and was successful with the Beatles- 'You've Got to Hide Your Love Away'

My ipod is set to random but tonight on the bike on the way home I was treated to these, all in a row;

Not saying they're better but I do like them as well as the original.

I Started A Joke (Bee Gees Cover) by Faith No More



Jackson 5 covering the Smokey Robinson written My Girl



I will Survive (Alicia Bridges) covered by Cake

I think this stands up to XTC's original version:

Politicians kissing babies for good luck,
TV preachers sell salvation for a buck.
You don't need no golden cross to tell you wrong from right,
The world's worst murderers were those who saw the light.

Here's The Devin Townsend Project covering an old(ish) Devin Townsend song. It's the tits, seriously.
