As much as I love Hendrix - and he was one of the best cover artists ever (I would put All Along the Watchtower right up there!) - this is a track of his that I think has been done better here.

Metallica's cover of Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" replaces the original's saxophone with slide guitar, and is immeasurably better for it

If we're having a "little wing 'em off"
I give you Steve Ray Vaughan.

I saw him do this in 1990. Live, the guy was fucking incredible.

This is deffo the best version of Karma Police.

The Radiodread album version is more like the original but this is more fun IMO
