Cool. On #56, Pere Ubu is the original :) I also have Bowie's God Only Knows & Pixies - Head On for Part 4. Luka is a good one too... there are so many great Lemonheads covers to choose from. Looking forward to seeing your next batch.
ReplyDeleteI personally was never fond of the Pixies cover - either version. But this is a cool list and I don't know where I would even begin with it. I hope to see "Time" - Bowie covered by Rozz, or "Venus In Furs" by Christian Death - because both are awesome covers. "Dead Babies/Killer" was also spot on.
ReplyDeleteHaloe! This is a very difficult process. My favorite Rozz cover is Dream Home Heartache. Very emotional. There are still 20 songs left, which will be revealed tomorrow, so you never know. :)
ReplyDelete@Bret - Pere Ubu is a typo. Good catch. I of course intended to say, Mr. Murphy.
ReplyDeleteThis is getting very difficult.
