New Wave Outpost Forum

Hi all,

Among my many musical discoveries, I've stumbled upon some real convoluted realities. Among my latest:

Rick Springfield's covers of "Humam" (yes, the Human League original) and Dream Academy's "Life In A Northern Town".

Better yet, from Bonnie Raitt's live "Road Tested" comes "Burning Down The House"--not so convoluted; way too cool!!!!

So, what are your amazing covers discoveries?

I heard this cover of Mad World and Boys Dont Cry by a woman who i didnt bother to know the name. [:D]

That wouldn't have been Kate York, would it?

I have a copy of Duncan Sheik covering The Smiths' Reel Around the Fountain. It's not bad at all.

I really, really like the cover of "How Soon is Now" by The Psychedelic Furs.

Eric Clapton's cover of YMO's "Behind The Mask" is pretty solid.

I like Youth Group's cover of "Forever Young" quite a bit.

<p align="justify">I think you peeps mean the band Love Spit Love[;)]

Best cover? Martin L. Gore's first counterfeit album. I once heard a godawful cover of Yazoo's "Only You" croaked by enrique uglyesias[}:)] I shit a brick and fell back on it when I heard that crap.
