I think this album could either be really great for the killers and for the genre of cover albums, or I think it could really bomb.    The Killers have tried their hand at cover songs a few times already.  They’ve recorded a couple really great covers, and some not so great.  I think it will all come down to the song selection.  As far as what could get covered for this album, I think the list is wide open.   Some names that are already being thrown around are Genesis, Cyndi Lauper, Tom Waits, and Fleet Foxes.  Oddly enough, I feel like they have a better chance of pulling it off with the more outlandish pop songs than with the indie rock stuff. But who knows.  Here’s some of what they have done so far. Which one do you think is the best?
