OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the D-
ark) covers! by Aryxus

View All Lists

"This is a list of cover versions (some great, some sucky) of songs originated by OMD. It is an ongoing list, as I have to search on every OMD song title, then listen to each sample to make sure it's not any of the million other songs called Electricity, for example."

"(added 10/15/08) While not a cover, the title namecheck and atmosphere of the song should please any OMD fan. Plus, you can almost see the girl in the song dancing amongst 80s prom decorations while listening to this wonderful tune. Very sweet, but far from saccharine." less

"INCREDIBLY cool cover of Bunker Soldiers! In fact, I haven't stopped listening to this 2-disc set since I downloaded it. Not only is the OMD cover the best one on eMusic (and a strange choice, too), the rest of the songs are wonderful as well. Highly recommended." less

"Yes it's a cover of an OMD song that is rarely covered. But should you download it? Hell no. It's horrible. Not horrible in a cheesy fun way, but simply bad. Avoid." less
