Punk Goes 80s

[MalaCloudy Black]

So I have this Punk Goes 80s CD with some bitchin' covers like Hidden In Plain View doing I Ran, Amber Pacific doing Video Killed The Radio Star, Rufio doing Don't You Forget About Me, etc.

I want more punk bands covering 80's songs.

[Steeb]

Not really what you were asking for, but tried the other Punk Goes... albums? Some are pretty good.

Oh, you might want to see if you can find the Kerrang! 25 Years CD too, that had some 80's covers.

I have Punk Goes 90s, what else is there?

[Steeb]

Punk Goes Metal and Punk Goes Pop, from what I remember.

We need a Punk Goes 70's

[MalaCloudy Black]

yes we do.

& Thx

dude, punk goes 90s is awesome. I love Mae's NIN cover and Gym Class Heroes' RHCP cover. So badass.

[Steeb]

...I hate you

GCH's cover is my single most hated cover of all time, and I've heard Placebo's cover of 'Bigmouth Strikes Again'.

Although yeah, the Mae and Scary Kids Scaring Kids tracks are awesome.

[MalaCloudy Black]

It's mutual hatred.

Copeland's Soundgarden cover is ace too. The entire fucking album is.

[Steeb]

bar that GCH cover.*

you really.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Why don't you like the GCH cover anyway?

[VerbalPuke]

How about a Slayer goes punk album? Seriously, undisputed attitude is an awesome album by Slayer, all punk covers. Plus they cover some damn good bands that might peak your interest.

[YI]

Punk Goes Metal...worth it for Strung Out's "Bark At The Moon" (which counts as 80's?) and Bigwig's "War Ensemble". Both do a pretty good job, IMO. Not 80's tunes though

There's also "Punk Goes Acoustic", which is shite. And lead to the birth of the most disgusting thing in Rise Against's career..."Swing Life Away".

Not 80's but it's borderline, No Use For A Name do a pretty cool cover of "Enjoy The Silence".

Punk Goes Metal also had a kickass version of "Heaven" done by New FOund Glory.

And how can you mention Punk Goes 80s without mentioning "Your Love" by Midtown? :grr:

[Lint]

I'm not sure which one of those Punk Goes.... albums it was on, but Divit did a pretty badass cover of Breakin the Law

I'm a big Depeche Mode fan, hate people covering them, and I like that cover.

[apsham]

[broken record] Matthew Good did a pretty good version too. [/broken record.]

[Liam]

Not as good as most of the others I could list >_>

[Crybaby Bunting]

The cover of Pop Song 89 from the 80's album was the sole reason i've been playing it so much recently. Every other songs good but that just seems to be played more

It has Richard Hung Himself on it, which makes it the NUMBAH ONE SUPER AWESOME! *Japanese Anime Girl Pose*.

*cough*

Which reminds me, I need to pimp Live at a Dive again, its that time of year. DI, DI, DI, DI, DI. I need to get a new copy of that album, I lost the burnt copy the chick who turned me onto them gave me, plus the copy I burnt of that one

[VerbalPuke]

I could probably dig that album up for you if you're interested.

Honestly, there was a favorite "live album" thread and I was shocked when I didn't see "DMN" as the last post with the message stating something about that album. If you never were heard from again on EWB, I'd always remember you as the one member that always pimped out D.I., and it would always be a fond memory.
