I love "A Thin Line (Between Love and Hate)" but I hate the Pretenders version and I also hate the R&B version!! WTF?

So, in other words, you mean songs that have never been covered well?

"Macarthur Park"

This thread raising the question, of course, of whether a song which has never been performed well is indeed a good song. Perhaps not.

marc almond's catalogue - a good songwriter but prone to histrionics. I'd love to hear his songs interpreted by others.

I've never heard any Smiths cover that I like.

A lot of Dido's songs would be gold dust if sung by someone who wasn't the aural equivalent of beige wallpaper... I think the Sugababes would do ballads like "White Flag" very well. But Dido's voice makes them all so pallid.

Try Boo Radleys - The Queen is Dead

Haha Alex I forgot about the PERSUADERS!! Mystery solved there, huh. I like the answer about Dido, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm thinking of. Dylan too, I guess, but I like his delivery so much, even if some of the arrangements are pretty crap.
