It would be perfect with Sting on bass. Not for his playing though.

Idiot. John Entwistle on bass

Deed mainly.
I said not for his playing man. I hate the bastard. Him, Flea and Mark f***ing 'banjo' King are me top 3 bass players against the wall come the revolution. I nominated him because he'd have to die to get in the band.
Thunder fingers was a f***ing God man.

I regularly listen to music from a way further back than 1968 and 1918. I suspect a lot of people do.

Oh hark at you. You must get my point though. I don't want an argument but what pre 1918 music do you listen to, regularly ?
Hardyman's Yugo

Singing ‘Keep the home fires burning’
Classical, the odd hymn, shanties, folk and blues standards/traditional songs. There's f***ing loads embedded in our heads from childhood. I f***ing love music me.

Have we all lost sight of the OP point ? Name a better cover ....... I can’t. It’s f***ing amazing.

Definitely one of the best covers.
I Am A Walrus by Oasis has gotta be up there.
Also Hounds Of Love by The Futureheads.
And any UB40 song from Labour Of Love I and II.
Baby Come Back by Pato Banton just misses out.

No I don’t get your point.
So for example, I’ve listened to something by Chopin most days for the last week.

I'd personally have Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley or Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez as my favourite but all along the watchtower is definitely up there.

Excellent choice. The first cd in the m/c on Sunday morning for decades in Riffraff Castle. There’s a few books been written about him and he was quite a character, try one.
Oooooh Rad6 controllers won’t like that.

Marvins version of I Heard It Through The Grapevine was released in..........wait for it wait for it........October 1968, which is immediately a contender for musics greatest month and a shoe in for cover versions greatest month.
Love em both equally.

The Electric Ladyland cover was canny

Chopin ? Do you watch Pinochio every morning too ?
Anyway I'm sure Jimi would have been pleased to be in the same bracket as Chopin.

You genuinely think it’s far fetched I like listening to piano music when I’m reading?
Well fuck me sideways with a Fender Stratocaster.
