Ultimate top 10:

Alcazar - Crying At The Discotheque
The Beach Boys - God Only Knows
David Bowie (& Pat Metheny) - This Is Not America
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
Odyssey - Inside Out
Prince - When Doves Cry
Roger Sanchez - Another Chance
Shannon - Let The Music PlaySnap -
Rhythm Is A Dancer
Dusty Springfield - I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore

Current listening:

Process - Displaced (Fairmont Remix)
Sébastien Tellier - La Ritournelle
A-ha - Analogue (All I Want)
John Adams - Eros Piano
Ian Hunter - Letter to Britannia from the Union Jack

Fantastic choices, Massive attack and Odyssey are in mine! Plus A-ha's Analogue is superb.

I'm very pleased to see PSB give a nod to A-ha. I think their album Analogue was the best album of 2005. La Ritournelle is also great; I don't know the other 3 tracks.

I wonder what Tina Turner's version of Unfinished Sympathy (see Wildest Dreams album) would have sounded like if PSB had produced it.

It would have still sounded Shit!

I think Tina's version is superior to the original version by Massive, for the plain simple reason that Tina has a fantastic voice for the song. I also like the vibe of the production better.

*coughs*!!

Each to their own opinion but the version my Massive Attack (I have the album and not the single

) is the defintive IMO!

What!!! It's a perfect song, its up there with 'being boring' as unremixable, uncoverable, as shown by the boys own (awful) live version of BB shows.

Excuse my shock, as it is only a matter of opnion, but Massive Attack nailed that song and Tina is hardly a reknowned intepreter of songs, or very subtle.

Totally agree. The original is untouchable in my estimation, whereas Tina is incapable of actually interpreting anything – she just tears through the songs with that constipated grimace on her face. Suggesting that Tina's version is better is to me the same as saying that having Tom Jones sing Being Boring would improve on the original.
