    Some songs are just too good to be covered and will never be bettered. Herewith a list of 15 famous South African songs that should not (and simply can’t) be covered.

    Gary Cool had this to say:

    Its a brand new year and time for a new ‘Top List’, I thought long and hard about this one and together with the help of my usual ‘Go to Guy’ when it comes to any local music related matter, Gareth Wilson, we came up with tracks so great and defining, either to that particular band or person’s career or genre and in some cases to this country. We are not claiming that these are the best South African songs ever written or recorded, they are just so prolific and unique to their original performers that no other band or artist could do it justice.
