For greatest improvement compared to the original, I would suggest the Phil Collins version of A Groovy Kind of Love.

vexxxboy:

makes the song almost bearable, which, with this song takes some skill .

This was the guy I was trying to think of! I love his energy, my first introduction to him was his cover of Bad Romance.

A tribute to the late, great Eddie Van Halen

Sadly, he refuses to perform it much any more (I think at all) as he hates it :(

I like that this thread is getting me to think of music again, I don't really listen to much music any more.

Another absolute favourite, Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World from the Unplugged in New York album.

I do *not* know why I like Tones and I, but I really do. She is not my usual style, but I love her individual sound and the music is catchy. I really like "Never seen the rain" as well.

I like this version of it a lot as well, even in some ways, more, but it wouldn't have been as popular had it of been released first.

Use the youtube tag with the video ID only, not the full URL.

@Handsomedan. For some reason your previews are showing up black and I'm getting playback errors.

Are you using just the video ID between the youtube tags?
