Mutual Coverage

Artist Song Buy
The Ramones  I Don't Wanna Grow Up  buy on itunes
Tom Waits  The Return Of Jackie And Judy   buy on itunes
Tom Waits also did a version of "Danny Says". I guess he must really like End Of The Century.
Gnarls Barkley  Gone Daddy Gone   buy on itunes
The Violent Femmes  Crazy  buy on itunes
Oddly, I'm pretty sure this single is the last thing they did together as a band.
The Rolling Stones  I've Been Loving You Too Long  buy on itunes
Otis Redding  Satisfaction   buy on itunes
Nirvana  Molly's Lips  buy on itunes
The Vaselines  Lithium  buy on itunes
From a Spin-curated tribute to Nirvana's Nevermind. The same album also had The Meat Puppets doing "Smells Like Teen Spirit", but I opted not to include both pairings.
Xiu Xiu  Body Breaks  buy on itunes
Devendra Banhart  Support Our Troops  buy on itunes
This and the previous track are from a Xiu Xiu/Devendra Banhart split single.
Simon And Garfunkel  The Times They Are A-Changin'  buy on itunes
Bob Dylan  The Boxer   buy on itunes
To me, this is one of the more fun moments on the mix: Simon And Garfunkel are so reverent to the original song while Dylan is so obviously taking the piss.
Motion City Soundtrack  The Sun Woke The Whole State  buy on itunes
Limbeck  Perfect Teeth  buy on itunes
Two sides of another split single.
David Bowie  I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday  buy on itunes
Morrissey  Drive-In Saturday   buy on itunes
Beck  Green Light  buy on itunes
Sonic Youth  Pay No Mind  buy on itunes
Again, this and the Beck track are both sides of one split single.
Peter Gabriel  Flume   buy on itunes
Bon Iver  Come Talk To Me   buy on itunes
The idea of Peter Gabriel's You Scratch My Back cover album was to have all of the artists cover him back, but I guess only a few ended up doing so.

Comment:

If you didn't figure it out, the theme here is bands covering each other.
