I downloaded them all, mostly on the basis Placebo covering Kate Bush sounded like a brilliant idea for a carwreck but, uh, actually... it's rather good.

The 'Common People' cover is terrible! What the hell is that?!

I wouldn't say it "spoils" the song in any way, but in the US at least Willie Nelson's version of "Always On My Mind" was huge. Tthose 70s/early 80s country-pop crossovers were (see also Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers) had the kind of omnipresence that we now associate with Britney. So it's very difficult not to hear it under the PSB version if you grew up with it.
