Episode 19 - Covers

This week's episode is about covers. Historically, cover songs have been received a lot like movie remakes – why bother? The original is good enough as it is, right? Only the truly great covers will respect the intent and spirit of the original song, while incorporating the personality of the current artist– and the time it was recorded. This episode's playlist includes songs from the 80s and 90s alternative rock era that are some of my personal favorites, but that also represent the greatest alternative rock covers this period had to offer. Bonus: I got to include the OTHER song from the Crow soundtrack I had to leave on the cutting room floor in Episode 18.
