No love for Lambchop's cover of Elvis Costello's Beyond Belief
That sentence should have question mark at the end of it.
Thanks for the downloads... And nice list!
Last summer Scot and I saw David Byrne play with the Arcade Fire. They covered Beyonce's Crazy in Love. Best. Cover. Ever.
Before that my fave live cover was the Roots doing Welcome to the Jungle.
I've never heard the ones on your list, but I'll definitely check them out now...
