The Replacements do in fact have a cover on their latest LP "I Will Dare". It is Black Diamond which was originally done by KISS. They are a good band and quite amusing in concert. Anyway, somemore good covers, Patti Smith did a bunch. So You Wanna Be a Rock 'n Roll Star is great, but my fave is the pseudo-cover of Land of 1000 Dances on Horses (The song is called Horses on the album.) And how about the CRAMPS' version of the old Sonics' tune Strychnine (sp?) Also, the Chocolate Watchband did a great version of Let's Talk About Girls, and Are You Gonna Be There (At the Love-in)? Finally there is the hard-core band Minor Threat that did a good cover of (I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone. This is certainly not an all-inclusive list and I don't want to start a flurry of everyone posting a list of covers they know about. But I wanted to see something other than Kate Bush postings. -- James Cooper ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!wjnz "That's when I reach for my revolver..."
