Will never change for me I'm sure........since 1970..........loved the original Animals House of the Rising Sun version  which does take some beating anyway......but totally adore the Frigid Pink version

Enjoy

Can't get the video to work but Beachwood Sparks cover of By Your Side as on the Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Soundtrack.  Would also add Lemonheads version of Mrs Robinson and Placebo's version of Bigmouth Strikes Again.

I have to mention the Duran Duran covers album 'Thank You', which for some reason has gained a reputation as 'the worst album ever made' - I have no idea why, it's brilliant.

One of my favourites on it is Elvis Costello's Watching The Detectives, which I possibly prefer to the original.



Lou Reed thought their version of Perfect Day was the best cover of any of his songs by anyone, too...

That's the version I grew up with, my dad had it on a 60s & 70s hits compilation on his 8-track cartridge player. I like the Animals version which is a cover itself (and one of the first songs I learned on guitar), but the Frijid Pink one is still my preferred version
