In honor of the recently ended Olympics, we brought back the Nickelsuck graphic giving Scot Stapp a week off to rest his aching jaw. 1 2 3 4…
Burnin’ Streets – Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
Strawberry Fields* – Ben Harper
Duk Koo Kim – Sun Kil Moon
Carolina Rain – Ryan Adams
Boom – P.O.D. (Crystal Method mix)
Apple Trees – Eels
Under Your Breath – Whiskeytown
A Different City – Modest Mouse
The Man Who Sold The World – Nirvana
Real Good For Free – Joni Mitchell (Live – Miles of Aisles)
and….Honeybear – The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
* I picked up the I Am Sam CD for about $3 and regardless about how people feel about the movie, I was impressed with some of the Beatles covers. In particular:
Across the Universe – Rufus Wainwright (which is every bit as good as Fiona Apple’s version)
You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away – Eddie Vedder
Don’t Let Me Down – Stereophonics
and Nowhere Man – Paul Westerberg.
And no list of best Beatles covers is complete without something from Emmylou Harris.
