    Anything by Bob Dylan is better sung by someone else.  He can't sing!  Good songs tho.

    I love the Marilyn Manson tainted love but the Soft Cell version is my favourite!

    And Jeff Buckleys Hallelujah is awesome, in my opinion songs should be sung by the appropriate age and sex of the singer, some songs are written for young girls to sing and some for older men and every permutation in between but if a young girl sings a song written for an old man to sing it grates on me and vice versa. Just my opinion I am
    sure others won't agree.

    Colin Firth singing 'Our Last Summer' was better (and no, it's not good). I did actually really like Amanda Seyfried's 'Thank you for the Music' better than the original but I think that's to do with the simple piano accompaniment rather than her voice.

    Speaking of Soft Cell, David Gray's 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye'

    @raisingirl, love the David Gray version.

    Feels like sacrilege to say it, seeing as how much I love Bowie, but Mott The Hooples, All the Young Dudes.
    I Fought the Law, by The Clash.

    This nearly makes me choke but Foo Fighters did a cracking version of Baker Street. (Sorry Gerry).
