Hmmm..... Can't see the point of the FNM version. Sounds just like original but with a dwarf singing.

As for Sacred Reich - yeah, not bad really. Still prefer the Sabs though.

The thing with covers is surely to bring your own interpretation to the song. Sometimes to the extent that it is hardly recognisable.

Such as Comfortably Numb by Scissor Sisters !!

Tiffany - I think we're alone now

Recently covered by Girls Aloud.

New version by Whores are loud being better than the original (wonder why, eh..)

BUT! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uloO44bKLBs

Hmmm.. I think older, maturer Tiffany wins...

I think this Shania Twain cover works, but a female artist singing an AC DC classic in a country stylee? Shouldnt work...

..but seems to...

Hate to admit it but I have to agree with you there.

This one on the other hand should work but just doesn't...

Back on the subject of covers that I prefer to originals....

Blinded By The Light.

It was years before I found out the original was by Springsteen and I can't get on with his version at all

Lawnmower Deth! Completely forgot about them!

Loved them when I was kneehigh to.. errm..

When I was younger.

I have worshipped at the Church of The Apocolyptic Lawnmower

Oh yes.

Video aside (car drifting) the cover of 99 Red Baloons theyve used over the video is... different. Quite good I think?
