    I much prefer David Bowie's version of "God only knows" to the insipid and annoying Beach Boys version. That might be an unpopular viewpoint though. The album that it's from is utter crap (the Bowie one) and I do actually quite like Pet Sounds all in all. But I do prefer the Bowie interpretation, he's a much better singer of this song.

    Kurt Cobain at his very best:

    Pretty much anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, though Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole does the best version:

    If you bothered to read my post, I said Duran Duran had "No business doing that cover"...so unless you really liked Duran Duran's cover of that CLASSIC then there's no reason to get mad at me.

    I can read okay. And you can't make me mad Lyle. Laugh, maybe. Shake my head in wonder, indeed. But mad? No sir.
