I wrote the following on one such song page, thought I'd place it here as a general comment

I have made an attempt to tidy up covers, chrono and then alphabetical order. No value judgments on worth of cover. Perhaps someone could find dates for the non-dated entries and place them in order. Why chrono? I would argue that previous versions may influence future versions (both positively, "I like that", and negatively, "no, not like that"), and it shows periods of popularity, the ebb and flow of a songs status.

"Otherness": wikipedia is dominated by US individual editors (in the main, computer nerds), if a musician/group is not a commercial success in the US, then it needs a label. This is particularly so with groups outside of USA, and to a lesser extent Britain. So a group is labelled "Norwegian", "German", &c. But a US group is rarely labelled "US". The "Other" gets marked, is distinguished, the "non-Other" is normalised. Why should groups from outside the US receive "special treatment"? Why not be consistent, geographically label all groups, or none.
