As Dave Gahan once put it in Depeche Mode’s song about this intimate, down-to-earth eatery: And I thank [...]

Not only do they cover them, they turn them into their very own. It's a tricky endeavor but entirely possibly. Think of some of your favorite cover songs and you probably thought their were being done by the songwriter. Some of my favorites "I Fought...
