Not bad either. Think I'll have to find the original and give it a listen...when I can tear myself away from RP for 5 minutes.
  So far, the Foo do the best covers.

then the Pink Floyd and Rafferty covers must really confuse you. Or the cover Nirvana did of David Bowie.

Open your ears man,  this is totally a New Wave, circa early 80s (with albeit a few extra distorted guitars) and not what some folks used to call grunge

True statement from me too....BUT in moderation...this station has a nice variety. THIS is why I listen. Thank you Bill and Rebecca for letting such a vast array of music to filter through. I appreciate THAT more than anything! It makes me far more exposed to music I would have otherwise not heard or let alone...enjoy!

Without looking at my screen I'm shocked this was a cover.  It sounds incredibly like the original, I'm not a Foo Fighters fan but that was spot-on Gary Numan & the Tubeway Army clone.
  ...except for the substitution of the guitars for some of the keyboards.

This song is really plodding and not very in line with other RP songs. Not horrible, just horribly out of place

"Down in the park" is a classic Numan staple from Replicas and the Foos do it justice much in the manner that NIN did with Joy Division's "Dead Souls".

down in the park with friends of mine
we are not lovers, we are not romantics
we are here to serve
different face but the words never change

I'm bumping to a 6 because of the alien on the cover.  Can't wait to hear the other version, either.

Being of a "different demographic" than the majority of RP listeners, I wasn't exposed to this music until now for the most part. It's great to hear most of this for the first time through ears unbiased by FM overplay, teenage angst, or whatever.

Wow! This Gary Numan cover version really sonds like old Comsat Angels from 1980. "On the Beach" off their debut album "Waiting for a Miracle", which is a great album by the way.
