OK...some may not dig this kind of mash-up stuff...but personally I think of a band or artist is going to either cover or pay tribute to classic artists or songs in some way, I think they should shake it up and do something different with it.

Rock Sugar, to be honest, don't take themselves too seriously. They have a sort of Spinal Tap/Kiss 'backstory', which revolves around them being stranded on a desert island some 20 years ago...and the only music they had was a young girls collection of 80's pop hits...which they duly absorbed...and when they were rescued 20 years later and restarted the band, they mixed their rock roots with what they had been listening to all those years.

I know some may balk at the idea, but I love this sort of stuff. To be fair, they are actually pretty good musicians and singers, which helps.

Best example of what they do is probably this...

I ordered their CD, which arrived today so I am in the process of blasting it out.

For me, it's the kind of stuff that reminds you that music should also be fun, and not to be taken too seriously.
