Another Great Covers Post from Jonder

(Scott)-Hell, I always LOVED Wire......see the post I did on them long ago, unsure the links are active....but
Jonder here creates a good look at other bands covering some of those classic Wire tunes, NOT, imo, an easy band to cover, but yet here are some great takes, and he promises more to come? Sounds fantastic to me....thanks Jonder, and keep em coming for as long as you desire!

Wire is one of the most influential and respected bands of the first wave of British punk.  Each of Wire's first three albums was more innovative than the one that preceded it.  Original members Robert Gotobed, Graham Lewis, and Colin Newman continue to record and perform new Wire music to this day.

There is an album called A Houseguest's Wish that collects 19 versions of the Wire song "Outdoor Miner" -- and I found a dozen more.  There are at least a dozen versions of "12XU".  "Mannequin" and "The 15th" are also popular to cover.  There's a Wire tribute album called Whore, and another called Post Flag, featuring Japanese bands covering the songs from Pink Flag in LP order.  #17 is from Post Flag.  None of the other songs here have been previously compiled.  Thanks to Nathan Nothin for #6 and to Spavid for #9.
