Have you ever heard a good cover of an AV song ?

Maybe it´s just me, but I have as of yet never heard a good cover of an Alphaville song! DJ Space, Karel Gott and Guano Apes is not worth anything in my opinion. Maybe it´s because I see it as some kind of "blasphemy" if someone dare to cover a song by Alphaville. If they decide to do it, the version has to be extremely good. But anyway I doubt anyone can make an Alphaville song better than AV!!!

you're right poul,
this exactly why there will never be a good cover version to alphaville - because they are the best !!!

Think i made som mistake...Infact I have heard a good coverversion of an alphaville song. It´s a swedish band called "artwork". They are really big here in Sweden.

Ha ha Joachim (of Artwork)

Good one!

I look very much forward to hearing "We heard the call" and hope that I afterwards can change my opinion. I´m sure that all of you have tried to do the covers in the "AV spirit".

I´ll try to be there for a chat some time during the evening.

And Joachim, I really like the sound of the 2 Artwork songs that I have downloaded. Will there be more? Perhaps full versions?

Wow, last post was made in 2000.

I have heard a lot of AV covers, in the best case it was 'nice song' but never better than the real stuff.... Maybe AV should made the covers themself... [smile2]

"Japan is weit" by Sandra is probably my favourite AV cover.

True, that is a very good cover. One of the few...
