    Well, he has recorded over 1200 songs, there might be a few out there that you like. :icon_mrgreen:

    I even like his later albums more than the old ones. :fear: Although he isn't the greatest singer in the world, the passion just sounds through his whole voice and thats what I love about him. He recorded some * albums too, to be fair. I have over 40 albums of the legend and damnit I'm proud of my lil collection.

    Hahahahah....there definitely will be 1,2 or 3 I'll like in that case.

    His voice just grates my nerves I'm afraid.

    Original by Nine Inch Nails. Bit depressing but Cash's version is phenomenal.

    You may not agree but this in my opinion this is how you better an original track..
    by taking it and re-shaping it and giving it a wee makeover in your own style..

    If ever a song was better than the original this is it.

    Wouldn't be hard mind you but still, this is fantastic.

    Stereophonics version of handbags and the gladrags is better than Rod Stewarts imo.

    Kelly Jones is a top notch singer.

    Not into the Foo Fighters as much as I used to be but always thought this was a decent version of Gary Numan's [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30DMi866ThM"]Foo Fighters - Down In The Park - YouTube[/ame]
