That’s funny, folks are talking about their favourite cover songs, and here I was about to blog about one of my favourite albums of all time – coincidentally a cover album – For the Masses, which is a tribute album to Depeche Mode. Four of my all time favourite covers are on this album;
- Never Let Me Down Again, Smashing Pumpkins
- Policy of Truth, Dishwalla
- Everything Counts, Meat Beat Manifesto
- Master and Servant, Locust
Here’s the rest of my favourites, in no particular order;
- Hurt, Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails
- Mad Mad World, Michael Andrews covering Tears for Fears
- End of the World, Great Big Sea covering R.E.M
- Helpless, KD Lang covering Neil Young
- Landslide, Smashing Pumpkins covering Fleetwood Mac
- There She Goes, Sixpence None the Richer covering The La’s
- American Woman, Lenny Kravitz covering The Guess Who
(wow, complete performances at Youtube or last.fm for all of them, that’s pretty cool)
