  • Babylon cover by Boyce Avenue 750429

    Boyce Avenue are a massive viral band (2nd most followed on youtube) and several weeks ago they had a go at Babylon:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUJH-bAVB0w

    Take it or leave it, but I think they did a good job!

    Yeah Sad I would of preferred more of a band attempt rather than solo effort, not a big fan of the strumming pattern either.

    A lot of their covers are kinda mainstream so I guess the radio edit version was to be expected.

    These guys have an incredible talent to turn anything into easy listening crap

    Not bad.  Even if BonIver did a Babylon cover, I'm not sure it should be done.  Broken Heart
