[Covers] Oddities.
Some covers that differ somewhat from the source material. All on MediaFire.
XTC - All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan)
I found this on YouTube a while back. At first, I found it hilarious, however, it grew on me. This version is from Transistor Blast: The Best of the BBC Sessions, as I find it superior to the White Music version. This is pretty much how covers should be done -- in a style far different from the original. Definitely my favorite cover of a Bob Dylan song.
Wall of Voodoo - Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash)
Wall of Voodoo turns Ring of Fire into a moody, synthesizer-driven dirge. Another example of how a cover should be done.
Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers - Egyptian Reggae (Earl Zero)
A jovial acoustic cover by the "godfather of punk" of a reggae song called "None Shall Escape the Judgment" (you can find it on YouTube).
