The Best Cover of All Time, Volume VIII

by Will on December 14, 2009

Aguirre nominates The Scissor Sisters’ disco-infused version of “Comfortably Numb”; via email, Barry passes along Radiohead’s cover of The Smiths’ “The Headmaster Ritual.” Radiohead is below the fold – keep those nominations coming!

Sam Beam’s cover of The Postal Service’s Such Great Heights

Jose Gonzalez’ cover of Massive Attack’s Teardrop

Teardrop is acceptable. I’m exercising my editorial discretion with respect to “Such Great Heights,” mainly because that song drives me up the wall.

To such great heights on the wall?

I already nominated Teardrop in the original thread. (I was torn between that one and his version of the Knife’s “Heartbeats”, both of which I saw him play in DC last year at a show that’s really stuck with me…but the latter’s use in a Sony commercial mitigates against it.)

I prefer Elbow’s version
