    Great list. I figured most of these would be on it. Surprised with Katy Perry, Gnarls Barkley, The Last Shadow Puppets, and Timid Tiger though.

    Though, those covers only made the list better!

    I agree with all of these selections! I still think its missing some though...

    but anyway, i think its dumb anyone would give you crap for the Katy Perry cover... its so good! People need to stop hating her for I Kissed A Girl.

    A nice zip file at the end of this post would have been nice... but aside from that: perfection!

    Amazing list! I fully support the placement of Katy's Electric Feel! I think that cover is definitely in my Top 10 of 2008.

    Add Cobra Starships cover/reimagining of " I kissed a girl" called "i kissed a boy" its super awesome!
  • Luis Tovar · 11 months ago
    yeah, i was debating about putting that one up, but i decided it wasn't really a FAVORITE... it was more just amusing, but something i'd ultimately get tired of after a few listens.
  • Half Note · 11 months ago
    Oh my fuck! I havent even begun listening to these yet and I'm already excited about them.

    I particularly liked the Kooks take on MGMT, that was pretty cool. But, there are a couple I haven't checked out yet so that could all change!

    Oh, and happy new year PMA - you rawk! \o/

    Amazing choices. Kook take on Kids is simply amazing.And the Last Shadow Puppets really did their job on making SOS a really atmospehric indie song.

    Love your blog!

    Cover of Rihanna's S.O.S. bu LSP is just perfect. Katty Perry surprised me, in a positive way.

    I'm glad to see Friendly Fire's Cover of "I'm good, I'm gone" is on here. They're pretty freaking awesome.

    Craig Daitch (of the jains) did a cover of Fake Plastic Trees that blew everyone away who saw it on Youtube. His macbook blew up during the cover but it still fucking rocked:
