How could I have forgotten this? One of my favourite pieces of music of all time. Much like Baltimore, it’s completely transcended the original.

So hard, but this would be near the top
(although I’ve just remembered saying that I wanted State of Independence played at my funeral, so maybe it’s that one 
)

Such a genius for taking 3-minute pop songs and making them just epic.
I won’t post it in this august company but Wu-tang’s ‘I can’t go to sleep’ draws on its majesty

Bloody difficult to choose but I’m going for this. Just because every time I hear it I say how bloody good it is.

Maybe it doesn’t quite obliterate the OG but still up there for me…

Donna Summer - State of independence
801 - tomorrow never knows
OR
Chicago - I’m a man
I guess DS edges it
*Not my fave but arguably the most inventive cover i ever heard was Schneider TM’s discordant ‘The Light 3000’ take on The Smiths

I read that in Bill Brewster’s voice.

i thought about the schneider TM cover of “the light” - a very laptoppy take on it for sure. that was a fun era, but i don’t know that i’ve yet come around to it again. might need a little more time.

Borrows a small instrumental part from Glen Campbells “Witchita linesmen” weirdly. Both epic tunes

My mate had the Taylor Dayne version at the time, didnt know that was a cover of Siedha Garrett

This has potential to usurp any previous choice.

Only just discovered that this is a cover of sorts today. Even though it’s in my top 10 of favourite pieces of music ever made 
So this is my final and definitive choice.
