  • Reply with quote
I was trying to do that song ranking thing, but it's just too hard. I've decided to rank my five favourite covers of Love Will Tear Us Apart instead - feel free to rank yours, as well!

1. Broken Social Scene
2. Swans
3. Evelyn Evelyn
4. New Order
5. Arcade Fire (feat. Bono)

As a bonus, worst:
Fall Out Boy

The one band that nobody should cover is Joy Division,it's just gonna end badly and this is true for every version of LWTUA I've ever heard.

I whole-heartedly disagree, I don't think any band should "never be covered". I've heard a lot of people say that Nirvana should never be covered, but have you heard Charles Bradley's cover of Stay Away? Totally blows away the original.

I love Charles Bradley's version of 'Heart of Gold' by Neil Young.

I still don't see the fuss about Neutral Milk Hotel. For everyone telling me it's a grower, I've listened to 'Aeroplane...' 10-12 times. It's just distinctly average.

NMH can TOTALLY be covered, their style is pretty stripped down lends well to covering.

@Nezzle: Oh well, subjective tastes.
