Just your basic mix of cover songs. Ska covers! Bluegrass covers! Metal covers! Punk covers!
I know, it’s been done, but dammit it’s MY TURN.
It was brought to my attention though that on a few of these, the original songs may be less well known, so I’ve created a second mix containing the same playlist in the same order, but all original songs rather than the cover versions.

I of course love all these covers, but I went through the whole mix thinking you could not top the Rasputin cover in the beginning. But you… just… kept… going… I mean, Sweet Jesus. The Van Canto cover? Brilliant. I’m also a big fan of the RBF cover of Hungry Like the Wolf (I forgot about that one, well played). Seriously, though… I’ll likely listen to this mix a lot.
You have Five Iron Frenzy AND The Protomen here.
You are my new hero.
Great collection of covers that I mostly hadn’t heard before….2 more for the playlist, excellent!
