    Cover versions?
    Yes there have been quite a few.
    From '#1 Record'

    'Feel': by The Posies

    'The Ballad Of El Goodo': by Evan Dando, Matthew Sweet, The Counting Crows, Trip Shakespeare

    'Thirteen': by Elliott Smith, Wilco, Garbage, dEUS, The Counting Crows, Magnapop, Mary Lou Lord, Kathryn Williams, Happy Flowers,


    'ST 100/6' by The Dambuilders

    Plenty of covers of their other songs too, but I suppose most notable would be:
    Jeff Buckley who did 'Kanga Roo' on Mystery White Boy, The Bangles, The Replacements, Teenage Fanclub & Kristen Hersh

    Blimey! I knew you'd know! Can't wait to find the Evan Dando version - I love his voice and that is probably the strongest track.

    Ok, so another late vote from me... yet another ebay purchase for a quid I've finally got round to listening to (the double album twofer originally mentioned). I gave it a 3 after a first listen as there wasnt anything there to offend my ears but no immediate stand out tracks either. I'm intending to put in the car for the week ahead so its warranted a closer listen for when my mind is wandering in the inevitable traffic.
    One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.
