A review for the CD I'm listening to right now says:
To prove they're not like other angry modern rockers, Engine also toss in a fuzzy and rowdy version of The Cure's "Fascination Street." You can bet your balls that Limp Bizkit or Creed would never cover an Eighties dance band!
Right, Limp Bizkit would never, ever cover an 80's dance band! It's less likely that they'd cover a song by infamous British fag George Michael, I mean geez, Faith? That's so unlike them!
Apparently the reviewer of this album wasn't aware of the scads of nu-metal/modern hard rock bands covering 80's pop songs. Dope and that "You Spin Me Right Round" song, Powerman 5k and their "Relax" cover (and 'You Spin Me Right Round' as well), System of a Down with "The Metro", Limp with "Faith", Marilyn Manson with "Personal Jesus", Orgy with "Blue Monday", Stabbing Westward with their pooptastic "Bizzare Love Triangle"...
BTW, Engine's cover of "Fascination Street" is really good.
