Smiths / Cure covers?
« on: May 12, 2005, 02:09:00 pm »
so Death Cab's version of "This Charming Man" blows, but The Stars do a really good job on the same song ... and i like the Get Up Kids doing "Close to Me" but can't stand the 311 version of "Love Song"
 
 any suggestions for more good Smiths/Cure covers?

Stars' "This Charming Man" is cute.  Supegrass does a decent rendition of "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others." Jeff Buckley does a helluva job with "The Boy With a Thorn in His Side" on a live album. I don't pay much attention to anything Cure-related.
