I haven't heard most of these, but I have to say I never want to hear that ONJ Xanadu ever again. Yikes.

Anyone else for X?

I was trying to find a cover of X&Y by coldplay or X.Y.U. by The Smashing Pumpkins. No luck.

Shit, brainfart. We did W, we're on Y. Sorry pinata.

I did listen to it though. I'm not a fan of Green Day, but that was pretty good.

Incubus performs a partial live cover of Shudder to Think's "X-French Tee Shirt" at 3:50.

So I guess "Y" is next... ?

Re: DVDtalk's alphabetical Cover Song playlist - help create it!

I don't know if you picked the wrong track, but "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" on your playlist sure as hell isn't the Beatles version.

BTW, what kind of site is playlist.com? Over half the covers I'm searching for don't show up, and these aren't obscure covers by obscure people And it seems like the songs themselves are pointing to blog sites, sites where random MP3's are posted for downloading, fansites and other places. So is the listener swiping those sites' bandwidth when you play the music?

This is a cool idea and all, but there has to be a better site out there somewhere for this kind of thing.

Fist of Doom already did, but it looks like joefrog91 decided to do the second round in reverse.

Being Mother's Day and all, I'm a bit busy today and won't be able to update until tomorrow, but keep 'em coming.

I'm pretty sure I had the Beatles track the other day. Problem is, links get broken and/or change. I'll just have to update it later.

The site is free, but if you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears.

The first post still showed Z was open. I didn't see the other one posted. But, I like the backwards deal even better. Let's go with that.

Sounds good. Y is good courtesy of Mondo Kane. I'm going to assume we eXhausted everything for the letter X. I'll toss in the previously mentioned Wild World.

So next up is V.
