Ah ok. Well, if we're going that route, another Depeche cover on that same tribute album is my favorite, although it is also a cover of my favorite Depeche song,

the majority of that tribute album is really good, aside from what the originals are like. i'm pretty sure that's the only dishwalla i've ever heard aside from that one "breakthrough" radio hit they had, whatever the hell that was, can't remember...

Same here. That song was "Counting Blue Cars". When I got the Depeche tribute, I quickly scanned to see who did Policy of Truth because it's my favorite Depeche song, and was avery disappointed to see that it was that lame alternative one-hit-wonder chick band. Then I listened to it and it was really good. So you never know.

Funny, I think their version of Diamonds and Rust off the same album is better than the original.

the vocals just DO NOT sound female to me.
edit: ok, you meant a band only chicks are into? chick band to me means all or mostly chicks IN the band. looked 'em up, no chicas.
