C69’s lead character, Stuart, compiles a lot of musical lists, which I’m planning to use in my social media campaign to promote the book.
While you’re still a select bunch of subscribers I plan to use you as a sounding board as to which of these resonate best?
Stuart’s (quite possibly my) top 5 cover versions are;
5 - Umbrella - a Rihanna cover by Manic Street Preachers
4 - Just Like Heaven - a Cure cover by Kaie Melua
3 - Jack The Ripper - a Nick Cave & The BS cover by Japandroids
2 - Running Up That Hill - a Kate Bush cover by Placebo, and
1 - Hurt - a Nine Inch Nails cover by Johnny Cash
What’s yours? Just your ‘best ever’ will do, not looking for a list. Reply to Challenge69@substack.com, which somehow miraculously comes through to my normal email address! Thanks all.
Always liked TL, especially the 12" version that segues into Where Did Our Love Go
I've recently discovered Angelique Kidjo's cover of Talking Heads' 'Once in a Lifetime' and it's quickly become a favourite
