A great OP Lou and I'm glad to make this the official Placebo thread and junk the other as this does them much more justice. I haven't delved deeply into this band but I've liked what I've heard particularly the great Kate Bush cover! I saw them live at the Projekt Revolution tour and they put on a solid show!

Yeah Placebo - good band I only have their compilation album



My favourites are Every You Every Me and Nancy Boy.





Also cool Kate Bush cover!

 

[LOU/REALM]

I totally agree Tray PLACEBO cover Kate Bush pretty well indeed. Heres another cover of theirs that made me smile . A 70s cheesy disco classic by Boney M "Daddy cool". I always liked the original , but this is fantastic !!
If they had made it a single and given some airplay ...who knows ??

 

[LOU/REALM]

Heres Brian and the boys teaming up with legend David Bowie....

I love the snazzy Daddy Cool cover!!! (I thought I would be alone on this forum in liking a few Boney M numbers hehe)

David Bowie and Placebo - what a combo! That clip looks like it's from the Brit Awards, must be some time ago as Johnny Vaughan still has hair

Just had a wee squizz on Google and see that Placebo released an album of covers. And they covered my favourite Smiths track - Big Mouth Strikes Again...

Well I did see them live LOU at the Isle Of Wight festival, I didn't take much notice of them but they sounded quite good, I have been trying to think of what type of music genre that they fit into, hard to pigeon hole.

 

[LOU/REALM]

Two more classy tracks from PLACEBO
