Annoyingly, the Observer Music Monthly for July features a vote for the 50 Greatest Cover Versions of All Time (Ever Ever Ever - plus, no question it's All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix, so a stupid thing indeed). This is akin to the Challenge (TM) set me by Cerebus on Thursday night - to get together a playlist of the most successful cover versions. By this, he and I mean to put together a list of the genre-crossing, unexpectedly great versions. For example, the rather splendid version of The Hounds of Love by the Futureheads will definitely feature...
Which is what I'm going to be doing for the next month or so. Contributions will be gratefully received, although not guaranteed to make the final list...
