Damned-Citadel ? Captain Sensible wanted to cover the entire Santanic Majesties album but other members said 'no' What a album that would have been
Does anyone know of any other bands who covered the whole album?[In my top five albums most prob number 1]
This cover was 20 years apart I will have a think and look for more
World of Twist-She's a Rainbow
Green Day-Rip The Joint 2013

Great track DG but I can't find Citadel by The Damned
Ha found it on a E.P.

Re: what's your all time favourite 'cover by current'?

did you see the Damned in their punk heyday Phil? I was lucky enough to see them at the Roundhouse in '77, marvellous. Vanian's presence on stage is imprinted on my mind, don't think he's ever been seen in daylight

A pal sent me this passel of covers
One shed requested cover songs that are at least 30 years old. Since her resurgence in the early 2000s, Bettye LaVette has proven herself to be a masterful interpreter of other artist's material. Here is a grouping of songs that were at least 30 years old when she recorded them.
Songs are all tagged from itunes
