Cool thanks, and I love Pachelbel's canon! Don't know much other Pachelbel. I think he mainly wrote for the church organ, which I don't much enjoy.
My favourite Coolio is this one. Great song IMO.

I only recently realised it's based on a Stevie Wonder song. Must admit I prefer the Coolio version though.
I tend to prefer originals but sometimes I'm unsure. Take Handel's very popular Ombra mai Fu from Serse/Xerxes or whatever it's called. I chose this performance because Andreas Scholl is so good!

Anyway, Handel's Ombra mai Fu was based on the 'same' piece by Giovanni Bononcini.

And Bononcini's version was based on the 'same' piece by Francesco Cavalli.

Which do you prefer?
