chrisfavata.bsky.social•107 days ago

This is the obvious one to me

chrisfavata.bsky.social•107 days ago

Also “I Don’t Wanna Die” on I Look Like Shit.

my heart to joy - "goldheart mountaintop queen directory"

look: if we’re serious about reunion culture i want MHTJ and Make Do And Mend at Fest

acollectivefeeling.com•107 days ago

mdam sucked so bad live but i get the urge.

franziamom.bsky.social•107 days ago

they’ve had enough time to practice. if You Blew It and Prawn can be some of the best, tightest sets I’ve ever seen in 2024, MDAM and can figure it out

boundarywaters.bsky.social•107 days ago

It’s goofy as hell but I have a major soft spot for the Replacements cover of Black Diamond (by KISS lol) on Let It Be

garrettmartin.bsky.social•107 days ago

Yo La Tengo, “The Whole of the Law”
Minutemen, “Ain’t Talkin ‘Bout Love”
Sonic Youth, “Hot Wire My Heart”
Primal Scream, “Slip Inside This House”
Oneida, “Slip Inside This House”

Minutemen were the kings of this; my intro to Steely Dan was the copy of Katy Lied that I bought after hearing their version of "Doctor Wu"

beeeencox.bsky.social•107 days ago

Want to give a special shoutout to Nothing People - Late Night (Syd Barrett) because not just covering the song but naming your album after someone else's song is a power move.

langhuck.bsky.social•107 days ago

Scratch Acid covering "Damned For All Time"

langhuck.bsky.social•107 days ago

David Yow wailing all over the place owning the hell out of that song

julienledru.bsky.social•107 days ago

I'd go with Black Sabbath's Changes covered by Charles Bradley.

Cap'n Jazz - Take on Me

revolutionerdy.bsky.social•107 days ago

“Handle With Care” on Rabbit Fur Coat

bridgemusicbunker.bsky.social•107 days ago

Or how about the Ramones doing "Needles & Pins" on Road to Ruin. That was a real "fuck it. We're doing this."

mgbesq.bsky.social•107 days ago

Ramones covering Tom Waits ‘I Don’t Want To Grow Up’ too

bridgemusicbunker.bsky.social•107 days ago

The Breeders doing a Beatles cover on their debut album and knocking it out of the park

kschwenky.bsky.social•107 days ago

Was thinking Dirty Nil ‘total eclipse of the heart’ but think it’s only on the deluxe version

melnickjeffrey1.bsky.social•107 days ago

Bruce throwing a cover of the Saints “Just Like Fire Would” on High Hopes—sounding like he’d woken from a multidecade slumber to say “is this punk rock?”

zachschonfeld.bsky.social•107 days ago

Yo La Tengo covering "You Can Have It All"

julienledru.bsky.social•107 days ago

Wait this is a cover? Didn't know that !

zachschonfeld.bsky.social•106 days ago

yes.

melnickjeffrey1.bsky.social•107 days ago

Utterly gorgeous

marcwbaseball.bsky.social•107 days ago

That’s a really good call.

tylerrittinger.bsky.social•104 days ago

Yo La Tengo covering all these songs…
@actualylt.bsky.social

abbyfjones.bsky.social•106 days ago

took me years to realize saint etienne's "only love can break your heart" was a neil young cover

mazerat.bsky.social•107 days ago

I'd say Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect" is up there. And maybe Alien Ant Farm's "Smooth Criminal" since it's the only song of theirs anyone knows (kidding, my brother is a fan).

stezeepeez.bsky.social•107 days ago

Galaxie 500 recorded an immaculate cover on each album. Would maybe go with ‘Don’t Let Our Youth Go To Waste’ tho

clthe3rd.bsky.social•107 days ago

I don't think it counts (because Streets of Gold is a cover album), but Electric Six doing INXS's Don't Change is so fucking good.

clthe3rd.bsky.social•107 days ago

As far as covers on an album go... My vote goes to the Butthole Surfers doing Hurdy Gurdy Man
