Nightwish did an awesome cover of Phantom of The Opera. And Presidents of The United States of America did a pretty good cover of Video Killed the Radio Star

Oh my, yes :shy:
I also think the Editors' cover of Talking Head's - Road To Nowhere is particularly good.
Rogue Wave did a fantastic cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' - Maps.
So cute.

ben gibbard - complicated
jenny lewis -handle with care
lily allen - who'd have known
lily allen - oh my god
no doubt - it's my life
sublime - rivers of babylon
beats international - dub be good to me (guns of brixton version)
propaghandi - i want you to want me
lightspeed champion - flesh failures
stereophonics - nothing compares 2 u
stars - this charming man
two tongues - even if you don't
kate nash - fluorescent adolescent
nfg - stay (i missed you)
paramore - love's not a competition (but i'm winning)
goldfrapp - it's not over yet
