Yup! Their cover is the only one I could see actually being on the radio right now....
....and I think if it was, everyone would think it's a new Fray song and completely overlook the fact that it is a cover of a much better U2 song.

This is almost identical to how i ranked them with the exception of the last place. I was ready to hate many but I was surprised how many I really enjoyed

I think this is the only reason I don't hate it. I wanted to. But I think by covering a song by a much better band, it's the first time they've actually recorded a half-decent song.

Fray is perhaps the only cover that has any replay value for me...and I don't give a shit what anyone thinks of the band. I know very little about them except they have had a radio hit or two.
and so what..
The only other two I enjoyed at all were Garbage and Jack Black. Damien Rice would have been decent if he had not screwed with the wording.

I tried to send my good bud B Flow a message last night.
Sadly he never picked up.

What did Jack Black cover? Squeezebox with Babyface playing in the background?
