There are 6 covers on the new Fountains of Wayne double album 'Out-of-State' Plates (Virgin Records June 28,2005).
One of my favourite covers at the moment, better than the original, played in a minor key, so it sounds both ironic and sincere at the same time:
Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time ...Baby One More Time
Jackson Browne (Jackson Browne ): These Days first released on the album For Everyman Released October 15, 1973 on Asylum Records (SD 5067) http://www.jrp-graphics.com/jb/fe.html
