Re: cover versions
gary jules' version of 'mad world' was infinitely better than the original.

in general i think covers get a bad rap because there is a tendency for untalented people to cover talented people, with unsurprisingly poor results. when talented people/groups do covers, the results are often (usually?) very good: see Hendrix, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, etc.
