Nada Surf - "Where Is My Mind?"If you didn't know that this is a cover, I might have to smack you. Usually I'm not too fond of covers, as they're much worse than the original more often than not. Obviously no one can come close to the brilliance of the original Pixies version, but this is pretty darn close. I'm not even that big of a Nada Surf fan, but this song absolutely destroys Placebo's attempt and every other band's version, because at some point in every band's career, they cover this song. Nada Surf really put everything they've got into this; they sound so genuine, while other bands just seem to play it to please the crowd. If you like the Pixies or Nada Surf or covers or music in general, give this song a listen.
