I didn't realize that Elbow song was a cover! I first heard it here a long time ago: http://www.rathergood.com/independent_woman
The Magic Numbers covered Crazy In Love too. Also, I heard a hilarious acoustic cover of "Baby One More Time" performed by Travis.

that Elbow cover is great, definetly sounds like it should be on rathergood.com :) glad that it is.
The Horrors also do a cover of No Love Lost, tis a lot angrier than the LCD one but still very good.

Dude... I'm in love with you... musically, that is.
My ears are single currently so, right now I consider your 8tracks formally engaged with them with the intent to marry. Enough with this abusive relationship the radio has put them through over the last 10 years.

I really hate U2. (Sorry guys) However, Johnny Cash made me adore that song.

Great to hear some of the not so obvious covers. John Martyn covering Portishead, just, should not work - but is amazing.

I've put together my own collection of, mostly, less obvious covers - here:

Question

MessianicRebel

The Smalls cover of Natural Woman http://8tracks.com/messianicrebel/cover-me-with-music first track, I argue is funnier than Independants cover.

Nice playlist so far though.
