…please to find the worst cover of the Sex Pistols’ “Pretty Vacant” since the version on Joan Jett’s 1990’s album, The Hit List.
Click here if you don’t trust me. “Oy! Oy! Oy!” Gimme a fucking break…
And, y’know, I was originally psyched at the idea of hearing this compilation, given this all-covers track listing…
Goldspot – “Float On” (Modest Mouse)
Rock Kills Kid – “I Turn My Camera On” (Spoon)
Lady Sovereign – “Pretty Vacant” (The Sex Pistols)
Mates of State – “California” (Phantom Planet)
Pinback – “Wasted” (Black Flag)
John Paul White – “Can’t Get It Out Of My Head” (ELO)
Rogue Wave – “Debaser” (The Pixies)
Syd Matters – “Hello Sunshine” (Super Furry Animals)
Tally Hall – “Smile Like You Mean It” (The Killers)
The M’s – “Come Into Our Room” (Clinic)
Band Of Horses – “The End’s Not Near” (The New Year)
Ashtar Command – “Into Dust” (Mazzy Star)
…but the Pistols cover has me on edge and disturbed at how awful some of the other tracks might be.
