1. Everclear , The Vegas Years
Everclear is bad enough to begin with (the band and the liquor), but covering classic songs? I had to ask myself, when listening to this album for this article, "what the hell am I getting myself into?" Well, I was right to be very afraid.
These power pop covers are dreadful all right. But were these guys drunk when they made the track selection too? They go from Yazoo to Thin Lizzy, Hall and Oates to the Speed Racer theme, Woody Guthrie to Tommy Tutone. To their credit, they somehow make this consistent in two ways. First, they translate each varying song to the "signature" Everclear style. Secondly, they make them all suck equally.
