Awesome lists! I suddenly feel like watching Little Shop of Horrors again.
Nice job with BOTH lists - I just went with cover songs for mine :-). You have some great cover songs on yours that I wish I'd remembered ("The Man Who Sold the World" and "Heroes" - interesting, they're both Bowie originals), and a couple that didn't make the cut for me ("Nothing Compares 2 U," "Mony Mony"), because I really wanted to stop at 10.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
Yes and yes! Good job!
If you haven't done it yet, you should check out Cake's B-sides and Rarities album. It's all covers. Their version of Ruby (original Kenny Rogers) is awesome!
OMG, how did i forget about Mony Mony? I wanted to marry Billy Idol for years lol. (I was only 15, that's my excuse) Anyway, Love that song! His version anyway.
