One of my favorites is 'Viva Las Vegas' by the Dead Kennedys.
That cover is great, but I like their version of I Fought the Law even more.
I hadn't heard their version until a few minutes ago. Ha ha, thanks.
I heard it before I heard the original or the Clash version, and way before I knew the backstory to their lyrics changes about the murder of Harvey Milk.

While the tune "Welcome Home" is like the "Sweet Home Alabama" of King Diamond's body of work?
I am a pretty keen on this version.

There's this noisy Minneapolis (?) band from the nineties, Mickey Finn. Recorded with Tim Mac. On their first Lp they do a grungy and distortedbassed cover of Jackson 5's Shake your body.

This is my favorite Leonard Cohen cover. I've never cared for Jeff Buckley's better-known "Hallelujah". Ollie Halsall fuckin' ruled.

It's like Fleetwood Mac wrote this for the Rezillos.

I've made the opening my ringtone. Marc Moreland was amazing.
