Under Cover

There are some songs you just don't dare cover, songs so associated with a particular artist that to try and cover them just seems ludicrous and pointless.

Both Robyn Hitchcock and the Psychedelic Furs go way back.

At one glance, the Rolling Stones and Kiss seem miles apart.

On their 1981 triple album, 'Sandinista!,' the Clash covered even more ground than they had on their groundbreaking 'London Calling' the year before.

When Lou Reed passed away last year, the tributes and accolades came flying fast and furious, strong and sincere.

Camper Van Beethoven grabbed a slice of classic UK psychedelia, remolded it a bit and took it to the top of the Modern Rock charts.

That darkened corner of the room, where poetry meets rock 'n' roll, is not always a place most bands feel all that comfortable.

The almighty riff is something to behold.

Even though they're about an era or so apart, the Clash and Primal Scream share a bond based on rebellion, attitude and an adventurous musical spirit.

Never a band to shy away from a challenge, the Jesus and Mary Chain put their own stamp on any cover song they tackled.
