Corran, Gundy. . . stop flirting. . . . . .oh go ahead.

I think Jimi Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" was pretty good.

U2`s version was better

OK, this is what I have been thinking of doing. Remember this is just for a B-side.

Can't Get You Out Of My Head- Kylie Minogue
Michael Jackson- Man in the Mirror
Jimi Hendrix- Purple Haze
Will Smith- Black Suits Coming (Nod Ya Head)
System of a Down- Chop Suey
Bjork- Oh So Quiet
Papa Roach- Last Resort
or
Brian Adams- Summer of '69

Purple Haze or Chop Suey

The best cover versions are ones that improve the record, observe: -

Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal (Wacko Jacko)
Stereophonics - Handbags and gladrags (Rod Stewart or The Faces)
Oasis - Come on feel the noise (Slade)
Travis - Hit me baby on more time (Britney)
Elbow - Don't stop movin' (S Club 7)

Take a mediocre pop song and make it pure genius with some actual musical talent.

Do the oh so quiet one, I quite like that one.
