Speaking of Annie Lennox, I had no idea for years that No More I Love Yous was actually a cover. I listened to the original, it's actually awful! She did a great job with it.
Natalie Imbruglia - Torn. I didn't even know that was a cover until about two years ago.
Power of Love (I'm your lady you are my man one) - I think plenty of people just think of that as Celine Dion. But the original Jennifer Rush version is fantastic.
I am torn between Beatles and Rolling Stones. Probably the latter.One of the questions in last nights Pub quiz.
What groups first five hits were cover versions.
The Beatles
The Beach Boys
The Rolling Stones
The Who
I got it straight away but it still surprised me.
Everybody wants to rule the world. Two very different versions by Tears for Fears and Gary Jules but both excellent.
Because the night, original by Bruce Springsteen but the Patti Smith version is better known.
...and she's a pretty damn useful bluegrass fiddler also...Cover aberration;
The glorious original cover;
I'd pay to hear that woman read the telephone directory.
Good point, well made!Pedant alert but think you mean Mad World.

Yes it was The Stones, remember 'Little Red Rooster'...…..that was a very strange song to top the charts at that time.I probably would have gone for the Strolling Bones. They were essentially a rock/blues band in the beginning and I am sure that at least one was a remake of one of the greats like Muddy Waters, Ben E King.
