Better than the Beatles?

Yep, Britney and Co really make the song justice.

If we're counting covers that bands have done of their own songs then both of these are bloody brilliant.

After The Gold Rush - Prelude. I definitely prefer this one to the Neil Young original.

Da Original

Whilst I do like Madness and indeed they are respectful to their sources, and brought Ska to a wide audience, Prince Buster's original is superb isn't it?

indeed , is it me or did they go more mainstream as they progressed ?I do prefer there earlier stuff
