Manic Street Preachers are the VERY best "cover band" that I have ever heard.

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Last Christmas
Bright Eyes
She Sells Sanctuary
Suicide is Painless
Train in Vain
Out of Time
Rock 'n' Roll Music (I witnessed this the first time it was ever performed live):icon_wink

All absolutely bloody superb and better than the original (with the exception of Bright Eyes)

The Puressence version is better than both I take we are both talking about the Watership Down song

Yup, I don''t doubt the Puressence version is better and more polished. The Manic's version is pretty bad, but it's got a rough, unrehearsed very early demo type feel to it that I find oddly appealing.

Manics' is an electric distorted version that would have been much better acoustic and James sounds as pissed as a fart on it. Sounds like it was recorded early 90's
