It’s easy to do, given the duo’s propensity for the new-wave style of the decade. If you’re not an ’80s popfan and you listen to Blaqk Audio‘s cover of “ You Spin Me Round (Like A Record),” you might mistake it as an original. “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” – Blaqk Audio (Dead Or Alive cover) However, the Used later released a studio version as a bonus track on In Love And Death, and MCR dropped it as a single in 2005. The collaboration first occurred in 2005 via a live performance on MTV2 to benefit tsunami relief. It was an iconic moment in ’80s music when Queen and David Bowieunited for “ Under Pressure.” So for two iconic alternative bands such as My Chemical Romanceand the Usedto come together for a cover felt deeply emblematic. “Under Pressure” – My Chemical Romance and the Used (Queen and David Bowie cover) What’s incredible is that they manage to stay so true to the original song while still incorporating punk-rock and easy coreelements. The band took on Simple Minds‘ classic track “ Don’t You (Forget About Me)” for their 2007 covers album, From The Screen To Your Stereo Part II. If we ever doubted that New Found Glory were capable of anything, this rendition would put all that to rest.

Then Goldfinger went and put an alternative spin on the ’80s hit and changed our reality forever. Once upon a time, we would have thought that Nena‘s “ 99 Red Balloons” was enough of a favor for the world. “99 Red Balloons” – Goldfinger (Nena cover) It’s a new experience altogether and not one that ever runs the risk of being underappreciated. Brandon Flowers‘ unique, gritty vocals bring a haunting air to the already viscerally emotional track. But, if any band were ever going to put up a fighting chance, it would be the Killers. There’s no outperforming Dire Straits under their own brand of ’80s rock.
“Romeo And Juliet” – The Killers (Dire Straits cover) If you notice another familiar voice in the mix, it’s because Juliet Simmsmade a guest appearance. They released the cover in 2010 under the Punk Goes Classic Rockcompilation album. So, naturally, Every Avenuewere a perfect band to take on the ’80s rockhit.
There’s a quality to Eddie Money‘s “ Take Me Home Tonight” that demands both anthemic energy and marked sentimentality. “Take Me Home Tonight” – Every Avenue (Eddie Money cover)
