Trickys version of Public Enemy's Black Steel is still the standard that other cover versions should aspire too. If you are going to cover a song then put your own spin on it and thats exactly what he did.

Here's five that spring to mind;

The Fall - I'm Going To Spain
Elvis Costello - I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down
The Pogues - The Recruiting Sergeant/Rocky Road To Dublin/Galway Races
Rolling Stones - Stop Breaking Down
Captain Beefheart - Diddy Wah Diddy
