Reversion To The Aversion To The Version

Here's a novel idea. I've been listening to a lot of music circa 1995-1997, so I've picked 10 songs, found the official video on YT, then looked for a cover version or remix on Bandcamp or, failing that, an alternate version from the original release. For the latter, click on the link in the artist's name.

It's thrown up some interesting results and, of course, it's great to revisit the original videos.

I'm not sure that this has legs for repeat posts, but who knows?
