+ 1!

But I think Jonny Cash is overplayed to be honest, it doesnt do it for me anymore. I really like Pantera doing Planet Caravan and Rage Against The MAchine doing Renegades of Funk

Could the Prince version of this song be considered a cover seeing that he didn't record the song until after Sinead? Her version is great but Prince's is even better.

The original, though written by Prince, was written for and recorded by a band called The Family. This was this version Sinead covered.

BTW, has anyone ever heard the original? Is it any good?

Adam Green - What a waster....in a word...amazing. SO much better than the original.
Have to agree on the - Man who sold the world
- Nothing Compares to you
- Valerie
- Hallelujah
Can't say I'm a fan of the Arctic Monkeys doing Girls Aloud. The song is just too awful.

Arctic Monkeys version was out five months earlier (than the Sugababes covering it btw rather than Girls Aloud, it was the b-side of 'Red Dress') - it was written by Alex Turner after all.
