#Covers6Music - help create the ultimate alternative covers playlist

Tom Robinson invites 6 Music listeners to create a playlist featuring their all-time favourite alternative cover versions.

Ahead of 麻豆社 Music revealing the public's favourite cover version of all time, Tom Robinson invites 6 Music listeners to create a playlist featuring their favourite alternative cover songs.

Is it Johnny Cash's version of Nine Inch Nails' 'Hurt'? What about the Manic Street Preachers' cover of Rihanna's 'Umbrella'? Maybe it's Muse's version of the Nina Simone classic 'Feeling Good', Saint Etienne's spin on Neil Young's 'Only Love Will Break Your Heart' or even Sid Vicious' inimitable take on Frank Sinatra's 'My Way'?

Suggestions are invited by Twitter via #Covers6Music, posting on the show blog or the 6 Music or Now Playing Facebook pages, dragging tracks onto the show's collaborative Spotify or Rdio playlists, or the other usual live show contact methods.
