    As per the title - what are your favourite cover versions.

    My first offering is William Shatners take on Pulps "Common People", with a little help from Ben Folds.

        The fact that he was allowed to use the Spock name means that their must have been some corporate support for this!!!!:nono::nono:

        Trying to be serious, The Fine Young Cannibals did a couple of great covers. First is their take on Suspicious Minds.............
        Fine Young Cannibals -Suspicious Minds - YouTube

        .............and then the cover of The Buzzcocks 'Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)'.
