War Child is such a great cause and this cd looks quite good! Interested to hear Hot Chip and Tv on the Radio.
I very much enjoy The Futureheads version of 'Hounds of Love.'
I like so many covers, it's tough to single one out. I'll keep thinking and keep my ears open for this when it shows up!
I actually adore the William Shatner/Ben Folds cover of Pulp's Common People. It's a glorious mess.
I am looking forward to hearing Franz Ferdinand cover Blondie. They've done a great job covering Gwen Stefani.
Allison - I too am a sucker for a great cover. Of course there are plenty of stinkers out there. I think the Futureheads definitely made that one their own though!
Dale - Curious isn't it? I can't really explain our penchant for covers. I have many favourites as well. I think it has everything to do with familiarity and recognition that is doing it for us.
Barbara - Ooooooh, an informed choice that one. I really like Joe Jackson's input too. I think that in some ways it even surpasses the original. I'll have to dig out that CD again...
