I generally prefer Dylan's versions of his own stuff over any other covers, however, Tom Russell does an awesome cover of "Seven Curses". Tom Russell is outstanding in general though.

That's right Chaos, I said it

I never knew Whole wide world was a Monkees song
and Yes,Erics versions much better,BUT your Top Link goes to a Dreadful cover by The Proclaimers.Heres a link to Wreckless Erics version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUFL8WSxTgY&feature=related
My nomination for a great coverwould be Big Black doing (Kraftwerk's)The Model - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP3ge9DGsKU

Oh BTW,High everyone

Thanks, I think I linked the wrong video.

Even the Proclaimers version was better than the Monkees version, IMO.
