Dave and I were watching the VH-1 Rock Honors tonight that I had on
the DVR. The Who was being honored, with lots of bands coming out to
cover their songs, my favorites being Pearl Jam's "Love Reign Over Me"
(Vedder's voice is so perfect for that choice) , Tenacious D.
covering "Squeezebox" (a true sense of great music and great whimsy)
and "Pinball Wizard" by the Flaming Lips (my all-time fave, as I love
that song and have a large crush on Wayne Coyne).
But something Dave and I do frequently is discuss who did great covers
of various songs. You know - Manfred Mann doing "Blinded By The
Light", the Springsteen song, taking a passable song and making it
*phenomenal*. So what are you favorite covers and what do you like
about it?
