The Ledge #714: Covers

The "covers" folder is full. Overfull, to be honest. So tonight's show is a supersized show of great remakes, and many of them are quite surprising. The Tubs covering Metallica? Social Distortion doing Chris Isaak? White Fence remaking Simply Red? The Hollywood Stars retaking their own song back from Kiss? Hell, even Ty Segall's version of The Doors could be considered a surprise.

There are also quite a few more conventional remakes here tonight, but each and every one is what the kids today call a "banger". (Oof, remind me to never use that term again.) I'm sure any Ledge listener will find a favorite. What's your highlight?
