[interstice]

What do Jun Togawa; Apoptygma Berzerk; the Ass Ponys; Buffalo Tom; Japan; Jeff Buckley; Icehouse; Los Tres; Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds; the Oysterband; Rasputina; Tom Robinson; Simple Minds; Siouxsie & the Banshees; Bryan Ferry; June Tabor; Johnette Napolitano; Iron and Wine; Hole; and The Music Tapes, all have in common?

You can paste that list into google and get exactly the one right result back, but try to guess first.

They all appeared on "Star Search" before they made it big?

Alright, I would not have guessed that. I have only heard the version on the CD I own...excepting perhaps if some forgettable cover appeared in a motion picture I saw.

Rasputina is not consistently good, due to her heroic efforts to use a vocal range she is not capable of reaching. She did however totally maximize this song, and her cover is way better than the original, imho.
