I love Oasis cover of Slades ‘C’mon feel the noise’ ... sounds like there is about 20 guitars playing at once

My favourite music ever is this section of ELP's Aquatarkus as done live in 1973-1974, which is actually an uncredited cover of Dick Hyman's primitive synthesizer piece "The Minotaur".

 

[Ancient Citizen]

Bryan Ferry, 'Hard Rain.'
Another Dylan song.

I do like a good cover version
Please, please, please let me get what I want by the late Gavin Clark from the film this is England
