Smiths / Cure covers?

so Death Cab's version of "This Charming Man" blows, but The Stars do a really good job on the same song … and i like the Get Up Kids doing "Close to Me" but can't stand the 311 version of "Love Song"

any suggestions for more good Smiths/Cure covers?

dinosaur jr., hands down, baby.

Stars' "This Charming Man" is cute. Supegrass does a decent rendition of "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others." Jeff Buckley does a helluva job with "The Boy With a Thorn in His Side" on a live album. I don't pay much attention to anything Cure-related.

Ivy does a pretty good cover of "Lets Go to Bed"..you can find it on emusic.com.

I had a version of Placebo doing Bigmouth Strikes Again…I think Ben Gibbard is covering a Cure song..heard it in a store the other day but can't recall which song it was..

"Give Me The Cure"

Ben Folds does a cover of "In Between Days"… opened the show with it the other night, in fact.

didn't you know that super duper gay, is all the rage at cannes this year? oh wait a minute . . . that every year. go gay, it's your birthday. and duckey, too.

I hate to repeat myself, but gay is the new black. Again.

I always liked Billy Bragg's version of Jeanne on his Peel Sessions CD. Honestly never cared for the Smiths but Billy does this song justice.
