Hello,

Great covers, but maybe not the best originals. The original songs here cover the gamut of quality, from completely terrible to very very good.

The Soup Dragons "I'm Free":

2) The Beatles "With A Little Help From My Friends":

Joe Cocker "With A Little Help From My Friends":

3) Elvis Presley "Always On My Mind":

Willie Nelson "Always On My Mind":

The Pet Shop Boys "Always On My Mind":

4) The Offspring "Gone Away":

 Five Finger Death Punch "Gone Away":

5) The Family "Nothing Compares 2 U":

Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares 2 U":

This version is better than I remember. Prince "Nothing Compares 2 U":

Toni and Chris Cornell "Nothing Compares 2 U":

6) Michael Jackson "Smooth Criminal":

Alien Ant Farm "Smooth Criminal":

7) Otis Redding "Hard To Handle":

The Black Crowes "Hard To Handle":
