It's hard to beat a good remix, and you have some of my favorites on here. I really liked Wonderwall and A Forest - two I hadn't heard before. Some others you might like:<br /><br />Yael Naim: Toxic (orig. Britney Spears)(I'm not proud)<br />Paul Banks: Narc (orig.

We'll make a shoegazer of you yet!<BR/><BR/>I think the best covers are the ones where the band takes the song and truly makes it their own. Meaning there are a lot of crap ones and just a few good ones. And with that said, a few of my faves:<BR/><BR/>"Wild Horses" The Sundays (originally The Rolling Stones) - Probably the finest cover ever. nuff said<BR/><BR/>"The Man Who Sold The World" Nirvana (originally David Bowie) - Something of a trend for covers in that live shows tend to bring out some of the best ones.<BR/><BR/>"I Am The Walrus" Oasis (originally The Beatles) - Gotta love this crowd pleaser of a show-closer. It's always nice to know when a band has finally finished their set and you don't have to stand around doing the obligatory clapping in anticipation of the inevitable encore.<BR/><BR/>"One" REM (originally U2) - I used to have this one and for some reason lost it. Boo. Stipe's vocals bring an emotional quality to the song that I think Bono missed.<BR/><BR/>I heard at a live show REM did a cover of Interpol's "NYC". Have been searching for a recording of it forever with no luck. If you know where to find it, i'd be grateful. :)<BR/><BR/>"Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" Lush (originally Lally Stott) - so sugary sweet it'll induce cavities.<BR/><BR/>"Creeque Alley" Belle and Sebastian (originally The Mamas and the Papas) - heard this one at a live show in LA. Another one of those "if only I had a recording of that show" moments.<BR/><BR/>I could keep going, but this is your blog. ;^)Vincent Hudsonhttp://www.clonebrothers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-429888453270708483.post-74559403056442078702009-04-09T22:04:00.000-04:002009-04-09T22:04:00.000-04:00.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
