Brothers In Arms - Dire Straights.  Bluesy guitar and synth dont go together like peanut butter and chocolate.  Meh.

Not Tomorrow - Living Colour.  LC exploring blues and progressive beat structure.  I could have used more zazz though.  

Bummed Out City - Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros.  I love Joe Strummer and hate that I didn't pay attention to his work outside of the Clash until years after his death.  The guy was a craftsman.  

The Beast - Twisted Sister.  That's a big ass bone Dee is holding on the cover of Stay Hungry.  The song is too simple for my tastes.  That bone has to be flavorful though.

Planet Caravan - Pantera.  They did a nice job with this cover.
