Everybody’s Dressin’ Funny … Cover Me Impressed!

I have said it before and I will say it again … The Pixies … sigh … one of the truly great bands of the late ’80s, early ’90s … just feel that, in retrospect, this highly influential band still does not get their fair due ,,,

Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. It is your solemn responsibility to decide which cover song prevails. In other words … Which Side Are You On!??!

One of those songs I just could not get out of my head once I heard it. Grabs you from the very moment that the needle hits the vinyl. Ridiculously catchy.

David Hasselhoff feat. Elliot Easton:

Hasselhoff holds the Guinness World Record as the most watched man on TV. As The Hoff said, “All I want to do is be onstage. A performer needs to perform.” Say what you will but this clown actually delivers a somewhat fairly respectable cover.

I feel The Pixies are one of the great almost forgotten bands of the 80’s. Just a great, innovative band that had their own unique sound. Released many fine albums. Really wish I had seen them live.

Siren Six!:

Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. Only one cover tune will live to play another day and it is your solemn responsibility to decide which one prevails. So tell me … Which Side Are You On?!!?

Also, keep in mind that if you should spontaneously self-actualize while playing a cover then you could – and probably should – nominate it for Top 10 (i.e. “Impeccable”) consideration.
