Good cover...Jeff Healey's version of Dylan's 'When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky'
Bad cover...DJ Sammy's version of Don Henley's classic 'The Boys Of Summer'
Sorry for those who like it, but being an Eagles fan I think it's pretty awful...

One Day, I shall come back, Yes, I shall come back,
Until them, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties, Just go forward in all your beliefs,
and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine!

In my opinion, this is the ultimate cover version - Joe Cocker's searing rendition of With A Little Help From My Friends:
What would you do if I sang out of tune...
But as reworkings of 60's classics go, this is a complete travesty - M People's awful Itchycoo Park:
Over Bridge of Sighs...

Damn, beaten to the punch! Luckily, DJ Sammy also has his pretty dire cover of Bryan Adams's Heaven. :P
As for a good one... well, probably a matter of opinion, but I've always liked Rage's cover of Run To You, another of Adams's hits.We ride tornadoes. We eat tomatoes.

Not wanting to Ro-bash but after discussion of his new album, I've just been pointed at his crack at "Time After Time". I feel dirty! The youtube comment says it best - "it evokes nothing".
I need to hear Cyndi's version now to cleanse my senses!
Si.
