Much as I like Cat Stevens, I can't help but believe PP Arnold (and even Rod!) gave First Cut is the Deepest the soul and tenderness that his jaunty original lacked. And Here Comes My Baby by Cat is nice but the Tremeloes turned it into this magnificent frothy pop song. And where do you stop with Johnny Cash in the 90s? Any more?

Saint Etienne's Only Love Can Break Your Heart, the original is unbearable.

On the subject of Cat Stevens, dare I say that the Flaming Lips improved Father & Son no end?

The Flying Lizards version of MONEY, although I like both Barrett Strong's and The Beatles versions as well.

Frank Sidebottom's version of We will Rock You :lol:
