Placebo's "Covers" disc is also fantastic, esp "Daddy Cool" and "20th Century Boy" tracks.




Pure musical blasphemy

Let alone Limp Bizkit in one sentence with the The Who.....

I like Jack Johnson's version of Badfish on the Sublime tribute album better than I like the Sublime version.

I like Velvet Revolver's version on Money a lot...I don't know if more than PF's original, but I like it a lot a lot. Also mentioned on this thread, GN'R's Knockin' On Heaven's Door is aweeeeeeeesome

I thought that this must be "Stagger Lee" by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter (performed by The Dead on Shakedown Street) but it isn't. "Stagger Lee" or "Stagolee" or "Stack O'Lee" is a genuine folk story and has been adapted into a great many songs. I've got a feeling that the Nick Cave version is actually a new song with a remote connection to early folk versions. Not really a cover, then.

Here is a pretty good page on the history of Stagger Lee. I thought it was pretty interesting. Incidently, the last song on Nick Cave's album Murder Ballads, is a cover of Bob Dylan's song, Death Is Not The End.
