Speaking of Neil Finn, he did a credible job doing "There is a light that never goes out" live with Marr on guitar (pretty rare) on the "Seven Worlds Collide" album. Not as good as Morrissey of course, but a good cover. To start off the song he goes "Is anyone depressed? Okay...." and then they start playing. He's no Chris Issak up there (with the punchlines), but kind of funny.
When I saw Ben Lee open up for Fountains of Wayne, he covered Shoplifters of the World Unite. It was neat-o.
I remember Johnny Rogan said in it that "Strangeways Here We Come" was the first truly depressing album by them. I agree.
That Coversproject site is incredible - thanks for linking to it. Just putting in bands to see what strange things come out is worth a thread in itself - maybe I'll start one tomorrow. Without that site, I would have never gotten to hear Nick Cave's amazingly maudlin and inappropriate yet hypnotizing cover of "Disco 2000". Awesome.
This question is unanswerable! Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before William It Was Really Nothing I Won't Share You Hand In Glove How underrated is the "Strangways" album? Moz Solo... A Swallow On My Neck Suedehead Now My Heart Is Full Driving Your Girlfriend Home Dagenham Dave Mexico Irish Blood, English Heart Had to add my two cents...
AFA Strangeways being underrated, I agree on all acounts...I think it's their strongest album. Add Speedway to my Moz solo...I just listened to Vauxhall and I about 20 times, and I forgot how great that song is. all of the rumors, keeping me grounded I never said, I never said that they were complely unfounded...
