Hows this for topical and up to date? The dance mag Muzik have a cover mount cd called Heroes Rewind this month. It features original and covers of stuff by what one might term seminal artists. The covers are quite interesting and include.
Bent - Dirty Mind (Prince) which is cool
Squarepusher - Love will tear us apart (Joy Division) which is really good, and not what you might expect
Senor Coconut - Showroom Dummies (Kraftwerk). Really like this one.
Rae & Christian - Flashlight (Funkadelic) Growing on me.
Open Door - Breathe (Pink Floyd) This is ace.
Space Cowboy - I would die 4 u. (Prince again) Bit cheesy but then so was the original. Think this version was in the charts recently.

Tatu do a version of 'How Soon Is Now' on their album. Will someone check it out and report back; I'd be too embarrassed to ask at my local record store to hear it...

I got it too! Marc Almond's version of Like a Prayer is miles better than Madge's!
Ride doing Kraftwerk?! Now that scared me at the time

Magazine-'Goldfinger'
Lydia Lunch & Rowland S. Howard-'Some Velvet Morning'-this was back in '83 or so, long before covering Lee Hazelwood became de riguer
Sixteen Horsepower-'Bad Moon Rising'-Spooky, minor-key version off their live one, "Hoarse" which also contains nifty versions of Joy Division's 'Day of the Lords' and Gun Club's 'Fire Spirit'

Elvis also contributed a "Ship of Fools/It Must Have Been the Roses" medley to yet another Dead tribute, STOLEN ROSES, which also includes otherwise unavailable recordings by Patti Smith ("Black Peter") and Bob Dylan ("Friend of the Devil"). Just FYI.

"Doing
David Bowies - The Wagon"
? "The Wagon" was an original. You must be thinking of Bowie's "Quicksand".

Hard to think of Nancy Sinatra being quite so experimental. Isn't that Nick Cave singing?

You're right!
I'd not listened to it for years and years though so i can be forgiven for being wrong :-)

Who would have guessed the Stones would be performing "Love Train" (O'Jays 70s smash) on their current tour? It was terrific and timely but unfortunately they dropped it (sigh).
