Walk on By - Dionne Warwick/Stranglers/Pretty much anyone the song is that good... EDIT: Strike that just heard the Seal version he fucked it up so did Alicia Keys
I saw Toy Dolls circa Nellie The Elephant era, they were one of the most impressive live bands I've seen. They played fast and tight like I'd never heard before and the drummer was unbelievable!
Stranglers' version of "Walk On By" is amazing to this day. It came as a real surprise when it was released. The song seemed so un-them until they did it. Masterfully.
Cathedral - 'Vampire Sun' Makes me want to put on some flares and dance around randomly saying 'YEAAAH!'
Entombed - Kick Out the Jams (MC5 cover for the youngin's) I'll be jammin' this later today as I repaint the gallery
Cathedral (again) 'Soul Sacrifice' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oiaos5R4 ... re=related Doometh Oneth!
Interesting lyrics on that one, eh? Oh yeah! They will always sound good. Stuck in my head today: "Rocks Off" by The Rolling Stones. "The sunshine bores the daylights out of meeeee..."
