Not a cover version in quite the same way but the BBC's version of Lou Reed's Perfect Day was sensational - even Lou Reed said so  :)

Well after the morose heavy cover songs from the "man in Black", let's lighten things up a little with Rolf's take on the classic Led Zepplin track Stairway to Heaven - not a brilliant cover just good for a laugh :D

A MySpace/Facebook friend of mine did this cover of Elenor Rigby. It's through the 'Beatles on Ukulele' project and I love her version.

My musical taste is eclectic and not always normal. That said, I think this version of the classic "The Message" originally by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five is fantastic. Cover versions, correct me if I am wrong, shouldn't sound just like the original - which in this case was a most mellow affair. This one isn't. Give it a listen - it probably isn't for you but at least try it the once for me  ;)
