Otis - good choice. Bowie's just lovely, especially since he gave up the fags.

Out: The Beach Boys, cos that particular one happens to be pretty boring and dated imo.
In: Fumbled Priest - Who Said Forbidden Love Couldn't Last? Doof, I much prefer the early period especially the raw and catchy Caught With My Pants Down EP.

I actualy prefer the Four Tops' cover. And bravo to Pophead for bringing a little Neneh Cherry to the party. I love all singers named "Neneh" or "Nina"...unless there are bad ones I haven't thought of, that is.

Otis...Fumbled PRIEST...not Prince. They are a really great dutch band with an original rootsy blusey feel. You should check them out. Sort of like a cross between early Stones and late Strickle Soldiers. Def worth a listen
