no seriously, landslide is probably the most beautiful song ever, and Billy Corgan is a genius for singing it.

thanks for making this thread, its been way to long since i've listened to this.

haha.. I love that song

No one's mentioned OLP's cover of Dear Prudence (Beatles), one of my personal favourites.

I also love:
White Stripes - I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself (Burt Bacharach)

afi's cover of Last Carress by the misfits

save ferris's cover of Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners (although the original is possibly the best song, ever.)
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

most definately, this was instantly one of my favourites when I heard the cd, then when I read the liner notes and saw that it was a bacharach tune, I was like, dude, sweet 8-)

"We're all in the gutter, but some of us look up to the stars, and you can be happy in the gutter if you don't know to look up. So the people who can become addicted and driven and sort of obsessed by music are the ones who look up and see the heights they can try to get to. But that drive never lets them be happy where they are" - Mike Turner
