OK last one. For now. The Pretenders "Stop Your Sobbing". Love the Kinks but this is somehow better.

And early nominee for worst cover ever, thinking ahead now - how about Vanilla Fudge's incredibly pretentious and ponderous cover of "You Keep Me Hanging On"? Strangely I quite like it but I'm sure to be in the minority. If that one really works for you they also tackle "Eleanor Rigby", "She's Not There", and "Ticket to Ride" on the same record (their eponymous first from 1967 or so). Over 25 minutes of downer-inspired trippy sludge for those four songs alone. Available in delete bins across the city.
