(Guest Post by Matthew Ladner)
So we had fun a few weeks ago debating the relative merits of cover songs. Why not have another ball?
A little known cover of “Love is All Around” by Judy Garland:
Here’s another favorite of mine, goth-rockers Bauhaus cover Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust. The video was filmed in Austin in the mid 1980s, and I volunteered to mosh out in the body bag at the end.
Here is Pearl Jam covering Let My Love Open the Door by the Who:
U2 teams with Bjorn and Benny at a concert in Sweden to cover Dancing Queen
Me First … are an absolute necessity on my mp3 player… awesome band. Huge fan of Punk Rock covers.
Bauhaus’ version of Ziggy Stardust was the one I grew up listening to and IMHO much better than the original.
And who can forget
