The recent Love and Rockets tribute album is everything a good tribute record should be: First of all, it's paying respect to a band that deserves it and whose body of work makes for damn good material to draw from, but it also features a lot of high-caliber talent really working over the original music and creating something special.

This is one of my favorite Love and Rockets songs, and this version of it -- kind of like the original version -- goes from pure sex to full-throttle in a split-second.

Here's Vex doing It Could Be Sunshine.

Probably the two best acts to be spawned by one band.

From the genius that was Bauhaus, here's one from Peter Murphy and one from his bandmates, Love and Rockets.



Peter Murphy -- Cuts You Up



Love and Rockets -- All in My Mind
