Don't leave out Joe Cocker!

Don't leave out Joe Cocker!

Joe flat out owns The Beatle's "With a Little Help" and Dave Mason's "Feelin' Alright":)

I generally prefer Dylan's versions of his own stuff over any other covers, however, Tom Russell does an awesome cover of "Seven Curses". Tom Russell is outstanding in general though.

That's right Chaos, I said it :D

I never knew Whole wide world was a Monkees song
:tiphat: and Yes,Erics versions much better,BUT your Top Link goes to a Dreadful cover by The Proclaimers.Heres a link to Wreckless Erics version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUFL8WSxTgY&feature=related
My nomination for a great coverwould be Big Black doing (Kraftwerk's)The Model - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP3ge9DGsKU

Oh BTW,High everyone:wave:
Thanks, I think I linked the wrong video.

Even the Proclaimers version was better than the Monkees version, IMO.
