Canadian band called Streetheart - incredible cover of the Stones "Under My Thumb".
On the same album from 1979 they also covered "Here Comes the Night", equally as good!

Don't fix it in the mix ... Fix it in the take!

Sorry to all you Rolling Stones fans, but The Sundays version destroys the original IMO:

On second thought, "destroys" was probably an overstatement.  I actually really like this version:

Credence Clearwater Revival was one on my favorite bands growing up.
Tina Turner took Proud Mary and made it a signature song for her.

Lou reed agrees  " I think he sings it better than I [did]. If I could've sung it the way he did, I would've. It wasn't from lack of trying. They recorded it the way I meant [to record] it "

Nothing wrong with the original, but Joe Cocker's cover of "With a Little Help from My Friends" from Woodstock is powerful stuff.
