3/5ths of 'The Band'

 

[presta]

Sinead O'Connor, Nothing Compares 2U (It's only recently that I heard the original, and it's terrible!)
Red Red Wine, UB40
I Only Want to be With You, Tourists

If I like the first version I hear, I won't generally like another version if it's a different arrangement, these two are exceptions to that:

Should I Stay or Should I Go, Kylie & Jools
The Sound of Silence, Disturbed

A few years ago, we saw her perform a concert in Wakefield Cathedral, she sang this
It was good to see Jonathon (the Dean), laughing at the ending
