which of your favourite tunes have been ruined & why?
e.g. The Chain, Fleetwood Mac. Great tune, especially the end. But of course someone else thought that too & decided it would be great for F1. So now if I'm out driving with it playing, I turn it down in traffic in case a pedestrian hears it and thinks 'look at that dhead in the Noble, he thinks he's a formula one driver'

That's tough that one, couldn't possibly be the same again. You have my sympathy.

I have to say, I've ruined a few great tunes myself by making them my ring tone. Too much of a good thing and all that!

Another one was the dire cover of Steve Winwood's "Valerie", by someone who will remain nameless

Different strokes for different folks. I find Pink Floyd worse than mumps, but really like the Scissor Sisters' version.

I died a little inside when I heard that "Boys of Summer" cover. (Big fan of the original song)

The big one for me was Whitney's way over the top cover of Dolly Parton's wonderfully subtle "I will always love you".

Madonna trumped it when she crucified Don Maclean's American Pie though.

And Lana Del Rey's version of Once Upon A Dream is just creepy. Beautiful, sultry voice but the song done her way is just creepy.

I once heard a truly horroble dance mix of Wuthering Heights and was wondering what clueless plonker had desecrated that holy ground when the DJ came on and credited the version to Kate Bush herself! Ouch.

Drive a Noble and listen to the stereo? Really?

Lol, I'd better re phrase that...'when I'm sitting in traffic and decide to listen to some music....'
