# Yeah I suppose.
Although there are some brilliant Cohen songs that I can only imagine him singing well. Like Sisters of Mercy and Suzanne. Oh and So Long Marianne.

But your point is valid if only for Hallelujah....

# Tom Waites and Suzanne Vega do an excellent version of that on a CD called Bleeker Street.

# Soz - "Hold On, Marianne"
Far superior to the James cover.

Mind - so is mine, and I have all the musical ability of The Bible.

# Right.
I'm glad that we've finally got 'round to the subject of covers.

I am, right now, completely pissed off by that fucking Kate Rusby singing Village Green Preservation Society.

I don't want to sound like an old duffer but I haven't heard a SINGLE reference to The Kinks.

Why is this?
