I'm burning a mix of nothing but covers (mainly for boredom's sake). Anyone have anything to contribute?

Most of these suggestions are terrible. I said GOOD cover songs. I don't want to see anything else suggesting Staind, Disturbed, or anything of that sort.

I've been ADDICTED to covers lately. Here are a few:

The Editors - Feel Good Inc.
Frente! - Bizarre Love Triangle*
Beck and Sia – You're The One That I Want [yes, it's a Grease cover...]
Susanna and the Magical Orchestra – Love Will Tear Us Apart*
Metric - Between the Bars*
The Arcade Fire – Age Of Consent*
Sufjan Stevens – Lakes of Canada*
Elliott Smith - Thirteen*
Pedro the Lion - Fade into You*
José González - Heartbeats*
José González - Teardrop*

*Here, I also advocate the originals.

I don't hate everyone's music, I just hate bad music. Also, I'm a big boy, but I'm not obese. Please know what you're talking about before you attempt to insult me.

"


I already have Cap'n Jazz's "Take On Me" and I have Small Brown Bike and the Casket Lottery doing "Under Pressure." I might use Crooked Fingers' "Under Pressure"

I've also got:
Ryan Adams - Wonderwall
Iron and Wine - Such Great Heights (tentative)
Limbeck - Perfect Teeth (also tentative)


I'm still not 100% sure what is going on there.

No, that is not what I am looking for. Most of what is on there is garbage.
