No, no no!

Go and sit on the naughty step and think about what you just wrote.

This Mortal Coil - "Song To The Siren"

The Sundays - "Wild Horses"

Everly Brothers - When Will I Be Loved, much better cover by someone whose name escapes me, you all know the one, it's a bit like Fleetwood Mac?

Maybe the Linda Ronstadt version?

Sir BigRedX, much as I respect your rockin' vampicity I must summon a weak croak of objection to the choice of The Sundays' reverb-bedevilled milquetoast version of Wild Horses. Please, for the sake of poor Gram Parsons' ghost, reconsider your position.

Now this, on the other hand, has legs.

A close one, but this cover of "The Boxer" is fantastic.
Some of the Harmonies are terrific.
To be honest, I don't need any reason to post anything by Alison Krauss. She is a class Musician.

I actually prefer WASPs version of 'the real me' over the Whos. And thats coming from a big Who fan.
