Happy Thursday (aka manangatang's fourth favourite day of the week)! I know that I'm not officially part of this thread, but I was invited here to do a job* and by golly, I'm gonna do it. Is everyone ready? It's past 10am, but that doesn't matter, as any time of the day is the perfect time for ...
TOP TEN THURSDAY!
This most-loved tradition is a simple one. Each Thursday in the match thread, a theme is posted on at 10am(ish) and than anyone that wants to join in lists their top ten according to the theme. Previous themes have included Top Ten Fictional Police Officers, Top Ten Cars and Top Ten , but this week the theme is ... TOP TEN COVERS.
It could be someone making a terrible song great (e.g. Johnny Cash's take on "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails) or maybe just giving a bonafide classic some new life like The White Stripes doing "Jolene" by Dolly Parton. It could be a Triple J Like A Version (I've heard there's a really good one of Jay Z's 99 Problems by some local indie band floating around out there somewhere) or maybe a banging remix like Fatboy Slim's mix of Cornershop's "Brimful Of Asha" that takes it to another level. You might even go for a song that you didn't initially realise was actually a cover - The Clash's "I Fought The Law" is always my go-to for that. It doesn't matter - it's YOUR top ten!
There aren't any rules for Top Ten Thursday except that your list needs to have ten entries (no more, no less). Feel free to order them from 1-10 if you like (or don't), and while explanations aren't necessary, they're definitely encouraged. Of course, ripping apart other nominations is allowed too**.
* Distract the Bombers from the fact that they're playing the Hawks.
** Mostly from me.

Ah, that was probably me. I've mellowed in my old age, bought a puppy and all that.
By the way you can still go **** yourself you un-original flog. Get some new material.

Being lazy - this entire album of covers of Phil Collins songs, considered one of the worst albums of all time. I bought it when I was younger and thought was fantastic:

Think that probably says more about you mate than anything else....
Not in my Fantasy world it shouldn't. You should be honored to play against such a wonderful bunch of kentlemen.
