Radio 1 have pulled together a thick brigade of popular artists for a retrospective covers compilation.
Famous faces from today's pop/rock tangent were assigned a year each from the last 40 and then asked to pick a song that fell in those 12 months. As you can see below, The Fratellis were assigned 1968 - and have chosen to have a bash at Jimmy Hendrix' 'All Along The Watchtower'. Gagging for the full'un? Bahlow: 1967: Flowers In The Rain (The Move) covered by The Kaiser Chiefs 1968: All Along The Watchtower (Jimi Hendrix Experience) covered by The Fratellis 1969: Cupid (Johnny Nash) covered by Amy Winehouse 1970: Lola (The Kinks) covered by Robbie Williams 1971: Your Song (Elton John) covered by The Streets 1972: Betcha By Golly Wow (The Stylistics) covered by Sugababes 1973: You’re So Vain (Carly Simon) covered by The Feeling 1974: Band On The Run (Wings) covered by Foo Fighters 1975: Love Is The Drug (Roxy Music) covered by Kylie 1976: Let’s Stick Together (Bryan Ferry) covered by KT Tunstall 1977: Sound & Vision (David Bowie) covered by Franz Ferdinand 1978: Teenage Kicks (The Undertones) covered by The Raconteurs 1979: Can’t Stand Losing You (The Police) covered by Mika 1980: Too Much Too Young (The Specials) covered by Kasabian 1981: Under Pressure (Queen & David Bowie) covered by Keane 1982: Town Called Malice (The Jam) covered by McFly 1983: Come Back And Stay (Paul Young) covered by James Morrison 1984: Careless Whisper (George Michael) covered by The Gossip 1985: The Power Of Love (Huey Lewis & The News) covered by Pigeon Detectives 1986: Don’t Get Me Wrong (The Pretenders) covered by Lily Allen 1987: You Sexy Thing (Hot Chocolate) covered by Stereophonics 1988: Fast Car (Tracy Chapman) covered by Mutya Buena 1989: Lullaby (the Cure) covered by Editors 1990: Englishman In New York (Sting) covered by Razorlight 1991: Crazy For You (Madonna) covered by Groove Armada 1992: It Must Be Love (Madness) covered by Paolo Nutini 1993: All That She Wants (Ace Of Base) covered by The Kooks 1994: You’re All I Need To Get By (Mary J Blige) covered by Mark Ronson 1995: Stillness In Time (Jamiroquai) covered by Calvin Harris 1996: No Diggity (Blackstreet) covered by Klaxons 1997: Love Fool (The Cardigans) covered by Just Jack 1998: Ray Of Light (Madonna) covered by Natasha Bedingfield 1999: Drinking in LA (Bran Van 3000) covered by The Twang 2000: The Great Beyond (REM) covered by The Fray 2001: Teenage Dirtbag (Wheatus) covered by Girls Aloud 2002: Like I Love You (Justin Timberlake) covered by Maximo Park 2003: Don’t Look Back Into The Sun (The Libertines) covered by The View 2004: Toxic (Britney Spears) covered by Hard-Fi 2005: Father & Son (Yusuf & Ronan Keating) covered by The Enemy 2006: Steady As She Goes (The Raconteurs) covered by Corinne Bailey Rae The record marks the BBC station's 40th year on air. http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/2311287 Apart from No DIggity being covered by klaxons which could well be highly amusing, this looks like one of the worst covers albums ever...... |

I must be getting old - I recognise more of the bands who did the originals than I do the bands doing the covers.
Teenage Dirtbag by Girls Aloud sounds like my idea of fun. |

The Twang doing drinking in LA... clearly aware of how they will be seen in 10 years time.

I quite like the idea of Lily Allen doing the Pretenders. I'm slightly worried about Girls Aloud doing covers. Sometimes they are good, sometimes they are bad. Still, all the best to the ladies. I have to say I also don't recognise half the band names, so it's not you being old, it's young people getting younger.

songs with potential (in my opinion):
1975: Love Is The Drug (Roxy Music) covered by Kylie - could be amazingly catchy if done right 1977: Sound & Vision (David Bowie) covered by Franz Ferdinand - could be cool 1978: Teenage Kicks (The Undertones) covered by The Raconteurs - i honestly can't picture this 1996: No Diggity (Blackstreet) covered by Klaxons - interesting 2002: Like I Love You (Justin Timberlake) covered by Maximo Park - i would like to hear what maximo park can do with this |
