Smashing Pumpkins - Never Let Me Down originally by Depeche Mode. SP makes it even more emotional and dark than DM, if that's possible.




SP also had another cover that had Corgan's trademark emotional angst and that odd nasal voice that carries it so well, Landslide. This was originally by Fleetwood Mac i believe and anyone who's heard the 1st version, well. It's just so fucking different it's good.


Seconded. I should hate it, because I hate guitars and everything like soft and gushy and faggy that is Stevie Nicks, and it does make me very uncomfortable, but I know it's an excellent performance. Corgan's notes on it are touching; he tells about living out of his car and listening to that song, and it all has a very Chicago patina to it, I can practically feel the peculiar morning chill and sickening grey light when I hear Landslide.

I also have a weakness for his "My Blue Heaven", even though it's twee as fuck.
