The studio version by Sonic Youth of this song (not my favorite, by any means) beats out most hypothetical comers who try to cover it. And the live version(s) of "Death Valley '69"?
Forget about it...there's never gonna be a another band that can do that...ever.On the other hand, Sonic Youth could cover any The Flaming Lips song and although it may not sound (in some cases) like the song, it would be a better version in the majority of cases, I would imagine.

nope don't agree with any of this. Basically you don't like the flaming lips so why you are commenting in this thread i don't know? Yes you have the right to and yes i wanted a discussion but its pretty pointless to have a discussion about who the better band is with someone who hates one of the bands you are talking about. Don't you think? So why didn't i start this thread somewhere else? well because i know that there are Flaming Lips fans on here, people i could actually have a real discussion with. So i really don't see why you bothered to reply in the detail that you did, it was pointless no?
