Cover Wars: (Every Breath You Take: The Singles) Edition

Well, as I’ve bitched and moaned about the last couple of weeks, finding an album where different artists have covered all the tracks is getting harder and harder. So I’ve been forced to delve into Greatest Hits albums, which is fine…

So now that I’ve opened the doors to it, I’ve selected the 1986 release by The Police, Every Breath You Take: The Singles. This is an interesting one because The Police are certainly a unique sounding trio of musicians and the vocals can be particularly challenging.

As always, please register/login with Imeem to ensure that you’re getting full length tracks and not just 30 second snippets. This week there are a few artist that are embedded only with YouTube and will not appear in the playlist below.

READ ON after the jump to vote and for more entries from this week, as well as the results from last week’s Highway 61 Revisited Cover Album Wars.

Fuse: I Want My ‘Roo TV

It only took seven years for the mainstream media to realize that there must be something to the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which attracts crowds in excess of 80,000 people every year to Southwest Tennessee, that’s worth covering.

Since I’m not making it down their this year, I’m sure I’ll be glued to my TV set all weekend long for their coverage – though fist step is to figure out what channel Fuse is. Let’s also hope that the network that is is known for it’s love of all things emo and mainstream rock has no input in the lineup or else next year we might be seeing My Chemical Romance playing the Hot Topic Tent. But we have faith the fine folks at Superfly know better than that. Right?

Death Cab For Cutie : Narrow Stairs

DCFC albums take a while to sneak up on me, though, and Narrow Stairs is no exception. Death Cab tends to hide little presents in the dark spaces of their music, which makes it difficult to critique their albums after a few quick listens.
