Six Different Ways Inside My Heart: The Cure covered

Photobucket
There are some preposterously bad Cure covers out there. Here's a few that don't disappoint:

Grant Lee Phillips - "Boys Don't Cry"
The Postmarks - "Six Different Ways"
The Soft Pack - "Grinding Halt"
The Watson Twins - "Just Like Heaven"
The Get Up Kids - "Close To Me"
Mystery Jets & Esser - "In Between Days"

The Cure

  1. I like Art Brut's "Catch" but Eddie Argos is definitely one of those like-him-or-you-don't artists. Nice selection. Hadn't heard the "Grinding Halt" cover before. And Grant Lee Phillips is just great no matter what.

  2. Yea, I listened to the "Catch" cover yesterday but couldn't really get into it. And yes, Grant Lee Phillips is fantastic. His Might Joe Moon album is classic 90s.

  6. I know the voice is veryyy "EMO"ish but the drums are really freakin amazing. Plus "Close To Me" is an all-time favorite. The only other decent cover of it is by Kaki King: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmm0DgsSpyo But that one is a little too cutesy for my taste.

  7. Personally i find the 311 cover of "Love Song" quite amazing. Highly recommend it. Besides it being one of my favorite songs anyways.
