    I really do appreciate when the original artists are cited. Some are less obvious than others.

    Simple Minds cover of Joy Divisions' Love will Tear us Apart. Sounds like New Order covering themselves!

    Just listened to it. Not bad, very faithful to the original although shortened somewhat. On the one hand, there's not much point; on the other, it's undoubtedly a labour of love, so fair enough. One of my favourites off ATMP.

    Buck 0 Nine covering Joe Jackson's "I'm the Man."

    Not my all-time favorite (too many already mentioned), but I dig it.

    Another favorite (apologies if already noted in this thread): Wilson Pickett - You Keep Me Hanging On

    Okay, now here is a cover version of the Bee Gee's "Stayin' Alive" by Dweezil Zappa with Donny Osmond on lead vocal. He does a pretty good job with it.
