Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Suppose its all about opinions but can't see how Step On comes near He's Going To Step On You Again by John Kongos. Do like the Leg mind, Paralysed is something else!!

Would have posted that if you hadn’t. Absolutely brilliant version. Some of the furniture is in the Johnny Cash museum in Nashville.
Another cover which (for me) is better (marginally) than the original, Foo Fighters version of Band on the Run.
I suspect we can accept the superiority of the cover version when even the writer/performer of the original accepts that the cover is better.

Say Hello Say Goodbye....David Gray blows Almond out of the water
Old Town - Corrs blow Thin Lizzy bod...out of the water
Edit: The Corrs is not street wise...but it simply blows Phil Lynotts effort in touch....basically it's a female song....actually know the story but Lynott's agent couldn't resist him taking it on

I've been beastly about Country & Western lately, but I'd be amiss to not include this one...
Quality suggestion, outstanding effort by Johnny Cash. Over the last few years I have started to appreciate people like Johnny Cash, he was a very talented guy.

Was a big Ska fan back in the day.....I had to find out the original sources of all the new Two Tone records...remember getting into the original Ska musics/bands...but slightly worse for wear at the mo...there were many better versions there....but many think that the later ones were better

Mates father spent time in the Caribbean back in the 50s and 60s building power stations. He came back with a fair collection of records, my mate would play them just to take the pi55 out of his dad’s taste in records. My mate wasn’t impressed when I used to stick up for his old man, he had some really decent Ska and calypso which always seemed upbeat and happy.

Great story Major....all music is subjective but great to see that you connected straight away with the original ska from your old man's era. Ska had a great back story...and I just wanted more as soon as I got to hear it. A special journey for me..
Pickney Girl from Desmond Dekker was a favourite of mind. Dekker did some great covers to be fair very early on...
Edit: Saw Desmond Dekker at the Casa Gil....top end of Queen Street....circa 1984...not sure of the year. Full of skinheads, suedeheads, punks and west indians. Brilliant night. The music reigned...
