I can't say anything. I have nothing to compare. No covers and no original songs...


I can see you through...

I think that 'Say It Ain't So, Joe' is a wonderful cover! I like Marian's version so much better than Murray Head's original!

Alien! If you have the DS box set or United then you have a whole bunch of covers done by AV?

Here is a short list of some songs Marian has covered:

New Musik - On Islands
Mott the Hoople - Roll Away the Stone
The Headboys - The Shape of Things to Come
Murray Head - Say It Ain't So, Joe
Martin Newell - A Mercury Girl
David Bowie - Five Years

I also think that One Step Behind You and High School Confidential are covers... but I don't know by who?
