More covers?!?!

Yep, some more songs I dig covered by some old and some new folks. I hope you enjoy them since I always seem to search out different versions of things. It's sometimes nice to hear what someone else gets from a song...Be warned, most of these particular covers are decidedly on the mellower side.

Here's the first round of covers...

So, here is the first of my cover posts. As most of you know, I love cover versions. Even the crappy ones. But, it all started innocently enough. In fact, it began with songs that I thought were originals because they fit so well with the band in question...
So here, for your perusal, are the covers that grabbed me and the originals (or the closest I could find).







Angst-Richard Cory (1986)



Simon & Garfunkle-Richard Corey



They Might Be Giants-Istanbul (Not Constantinople)



The Four Lads-Istanbul (Not Constantinople)



the Clash-Brand New Cadillac
