Hmm.

I see this is available on iTunes now, but you can't download individual songs.

No way am I buying the entire album just to hear this!

Whole compilation a bit odd. Sound Of The 80s yet most tracks done in a John Lewis advert acoustic style. At least the Manics aren't Kaiser Chiefs trashing Should I Stay Or Should I Go

Pass. Not that I really blame the band for the lackluster quality, it's a pretty poor song to begin with and it would've taken a small miracle to do anything decent with it.

James is giving it a touch too much Noddy Holder on that one.

The sound is great, James sounds great, but it's just not the kind of song they should have covered. I thought it then and think it even more so now.

A one listen wonder at best. It's not something you'd play on repeat.

James's voice is great as always, forgettable song though.

I think he growls far too much on it personally.

Only the Manics could turn a Rolling Stones song into Van Halen.

Crikey, that's a bit honking, innit?! And I speak as someone who likes a lot of their daft covers.

Bad, that etc.
