I have just been listening to Coil's cover version of 'Tainted Love'. I knew the Soft Cell and Marilyn Manson versions and wondered what other artists covered it - after checking on wiki, it looks like it has been covered 39 times!
So this started me thinking about cover versions - does anyone know any particularly good or bad ones? I think that it's rare that a cover sounds more inspired than the original but it's always interesting to listen to.
(shamefully I know the Christmas season starts for me when I start to play Mariah Carey's and then MCR's versions of 'All I want for Christmas is you')
