Actually, Babou, “I’ve Been Waiting For Your” wasn’t a Pixies original. It was a Neil Young cover.
The Pixies did a kickass version of the Jesus & Mary Chain’s “Head On”, as well.
I like Aztec Camera’s languid acoustic version of Van Halen’s “Jump” better than the original.
Camper Van Beethoven’s woozy country-fiddlefied take on Black Flag’s punk anthem “Wasted”.
The Pretenders’ cover of the Kinks’ “Stop Your Sobbing” (the original was godawful).
The Lemonheads were a good cover band - most of their hits were other people’s songs. Ditto the Bangles - all of their hits were covers.
