NME Best and Worst Cover Versions Poll

[A boy called Rita]

T.a.t.U doing How Soon is Now is the best cover in history, ever. The original is the most boring piece of tripe ever. The T.a.t.U cover is gorgeous though. And I can't wait for their film to come out.

got to disagree.
the music sounds good, but their voices aren't strong enough to carry the song off.

sorry to come back to this a bit late - if you don't have it, seek out Shatner's debut solo album, The Transformed Man. it is FUCKING BONKERS - in between Shakespeare recitals he does versions of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and Mr Tambourine Man that suggest prototype versions of crack and ecstacy ran like water through the set of the Star Trek TV series.

LOL. I've just had a vision in my mind of Shatner doing Design For Life.

Yeah, his Transformed Man LP is really bizarre and hilarious.
