Best tainted Love ever! The origianl (Gloria Jones) and the cover (Solft Cell) just weren't angry enough. I put TL in my set recently, it started out as Holiday (Green Day) but TL fell into place so I kept like that.

I prefer Soft Cell's version or even Marilyn Manson's at that. The HIM's Wicked Game is a good cover.

This is a good cover by Linkin Park. Not exactly 'rocked up' but good nonetheless

Good move Mick, I've always preferred this version of TL over any other version, even the original...and especially the horrible Marilyn Manson version. I hated that, still do!

Whilst not a big fan of HIM, a girl I was seeing when I lived in Spain some years ago used to love 'em....and this was on their latest album. IMO a great version. Although I have to say the original Chris Isaac video will always be the best with the very gorgeous Helena Christensen.

One song in The Soultrain that I hate playing is Tainted Love thanks to Marc Almond. I don't even like the original because I grew up hating the 80's version.

Now if you want a good "rocked up" cover version how about Green Manilishi by Judas Priest??

Have a listen to Heard It Through The Grapevine by 80's/90's British rockers FM. Best cover version I've ever heard.
