Normally I'd rather listen to fingernails scraping a chalkboard than Tori Amos. But her new cover of "I Ran" (Paramount Theatre, Denver, CO 4/19/05) is pretty good. Once she stops rambling and actually starts the song that is.

<br>You guys are great at sweeping the cobwebs out of my mind. A couple other covers I remembered liking were Can't Explain by Elton Motello & Break on Through by The Weirdos, although I haven't heard them in at least 10 years. That was when my car ate my cassette. Thank God for my iPod!

Excellent!
Elton's "Pop Art" album is brilliant!
And so is his first album, "Victim Of Time".

Eight Miles High - Husker Du - The Byrds

One of my favorite cover songs. Mould & Co. own this cover of the Byrds. Originally released as a 7￾￾ in 1984

<br>I'll bet I'm the only one who likes it, but I love The Cure's cover of "Purple Haze."

I personally like that one better than the original. But I'm weird, never been much of a Hendricks guy.
