About Playlist
When it comes to '80s pop and college-radio classics, famous musicians have timeless favorites just like the rest of us—so much so, they can't resist covering them. This playlist collects this century's most fun and inspired interpretations of familiar tracks from the 1980s. There are pairings that make total sense: OK Go doing Adam and the Ants' "Ant Music"; My Chemical Romance and The Used teaming up for "Under Pressure." There are artists who totally reinvent the songs, like Maren Morris covering Billy Idol or Chris Cornell's chilling take on "Billie Jean." Some are so faithful as to be nearly indistinguishable from the originals (who knew Dave Matthews could do such a spot-on Peter Gabriel impression? Or that Paramore's Hayley Williams had studied every single ad-lib on "Burning Down the House"?). Others might not make sense on paper—Korn covering Cameo, Luna doing Paula Abdul—but end up delighting nonetheless. Photo: Paramore © Paramore
