Morrissey/Smiths covers

I am listening to a very good cover of Reel Around The Fountain by Duncan Sheik and it's got me wondering...

Is there a list anywhere of all of the Smiths/Morrissey covers ever done? Or could we somehow compile one here? I think Morrissey's songs are among the most covered in the world, and it would be great to be able to hear as many covers as possible...

Thanks.

I have avoided most of them very carefully, I would hate to see The Smiths and Morrissey songs being mistreated. I hear Muse have covered 'Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want' - I mean bloddy hell, come on, f***ing Muse.
Billy Bragg did a great job with Never Had No One Ever, but that is only to be expected from such a top man.
 
The only one I ever cared for (briefly)

was Cinerama's version of "London". Not too bad, but nothing compares to the real thing.

I am lucky enough to own quite a few.. which I could transpose here I suppsoe but that seems like too much for a lunchtime!! But I am not sure if there's a list to access anywhere..
 
Funny, I just downloaded a copy of The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, as covered by Sinead O'connor. I found it on audiogalaxy.com. Look there, you'll be pleasently surprised. I am dradfully searching the cover by The Trashcan Sinatras, I Know It's Over, off "The Smiths are Dead" comp. Onward Onward Onward .... cheers, katherine

I love the Trash Can Sinatras and I found that cover on a file sharing program called Kazaa, you might try and download that program. I also found a cover by Hootie and The Blowfish of Please, Please, Please... which, although I can't stand Hootie, was actually listenable! I also like Carter USM's version of Panic. I just thought there might be a list of them all somewhere.
 
Hi, I know very well that Chris has that cover by the Trashcan Sinatras. Ask him and he might be able to put it on his website http://www.Ambitious-Outsiders.com He sent me a load of covers that I was looking for about 3 months back. Ask!

Re: Yes, Chris is a great chap. Helpful, too.

Chris just sent me a list of all the covers he has and some others as well. He said hes going to put all of this on his site this week as kind of a "Choose & Download" page.

Re: Yes, Chris is a great chap. Helpful, too.

Weird name! I got this from Passions just like mine.

"Ask" - Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti
Covered in Italian under the title "Dimmi" on their 1999 album. The song is also featured on the tribute cd put together by the makers of the Italian fanzine Speedway (see first section of this page: tributes).
