Favourite cover songs

[deluded pom?]

I got in to a discussion with some folks at a BBQ, who were not enamoured by sampling and/or cover versions (like One Direction's One Way or Another.

Oh, they're just paying respect to songs they like.

But why are the always covering great 80s songs?!?! they complained. They go and spoil it.

I said: It's not like the 80s when we had all those originals like the Van Halen's You Really Got Me, Pet Shop Boys Always on My Mind, Motley Crue's Smoking In The Boys Room, Soft Cell's Tainted Love or Naked Eye's Always Something To Remind Me and Poison's Your Mama Don't Dance.

And they were all...yeah, how good was the 80s!?!? Such great stuff...etc etc.

Phil Collins - You can't Hurry Love.

Geez....missed that. Great taste mate!

Diana Ross and the Supremes and Vanilla Fudge do great versions.

Apparently Rod Stewart did a cover as well.

I don't have the guts to go there.....

Or was it the Bexley North Hotel?

Wow!! A Hungarian band doing a cover of an old American country folk song which itself was covered by a Swedish mob.

That girl Gabriella with the glasses playing the fuvola (Hungarian for flute) turns me on.I have a different type of flute for her....
