It must be love - Madness

TopMan

Best: Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'.

Worst: Rufas Wainwright's 'Hallelujah'.

Patti Smiths 'White Rabbit' is quite good

Candy Flip - Strawberry Fields :DOn a serious note Donny Hathaways live version of What's going on is fucking awesome. And to think the original is so good that anyone covering it would surely murder it yet Hathaway pulls it out of the bag.Hathaway and Gaye, two legends. Rest in peace guys.

I Fought the Law.
Walk on By - The Stranglers.
Madness's It Must be Love is a great call (Labbi Siffre's original is weak)
One for Heyho - The days of Pearly Spencer - Marc Almond.
Stepping Stone - Sex Pistols
C'mon Everybody and Something Else - Sid and/or Pistols.

I've heard Guns n Roses' 'New Rose' is very good?

Eloise - The Damned.
Pete Wylie did a version of the NY Dolls' 'Arms around a Memory' or whatever it's called.

And of course, mentioned b4 - Redemption Song by Joe. Was it Marley's original?

Indeed, very hard to cover Marvin Gaye songs, another lot who manage at though are the Chi Lites who did a great version of Inner City Blues
