I'm making a CD compilation of mostly 60's songs covered by New Wave/Alternative artists. I've got a pretty good start on it but I want to make it as comprehensive as possible. The list is as follows, and I would greatly appreciate any suggestions to add to it. If the original song is listed here but you know of a different cover, by all means tell me! The only thing I ask is that the original song is not too obscure, and definitely not too recent. A good example of this would be Aztec Camera's version of Van Halen's "Jump". I would also ask that the cover song be no recent than 90's, in other words, from 1977 to 1989. Thanks!
