Was downloading some Sex Pistols tunes and found a copy of Sid Vicious doing Sinatra's "My Way." After gleefully snagging this for one of my CD projects, I wanted to know what the deal with it. So I did a quick search and a found a listing of the Telegraph's 50 best covers of all time. On the list were many songs I didn't know were covers (White Stripes', I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself), forgot existed (Tricky, Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos, which was also snagged for the aforemention project), and shit I'd never known was covered (Scissor Sisters' fucking horrible version ofComfortably Numb).

Very enlightening, but like with nearly all lists, some of the rankings are bullshit. I won't dispute number 1 (you know what it is without looking if you think about it), but number two is crap. I mean, it's ok, but it ain't number fuckin' two. And The Cure's vesion of Purple Haze doesn't even rate. What the fuck?

Anyway, there's some good shit on there that's worth downloadin' that you probably had no idea was sittin' around. Enjoy.
