War Child, the charity that provides aid to children in war-torn regions, has a really wonderful compilation lined up for 2009. They asked a ton of rock legends to pick one song of theirs and nominate a current band to cover it. We can only assume that Peter Hook of New Order chose Hot Chip (coz Ian from Joy Division certainly didn't!).
1. Beck (Bob Dylan - “Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat”)
2. The Kooks (The Kinks - “Victoria”)
3. The Hold Steady (Bruce Springsteen - “Atlantic City”)
4. Hot Chip (Joy Division - “Transmission”)
5. Lily Allen feat. Mick Jones (The Clash - “Straight To Hell”)
6. Yeah Yeah Yeahs (The Ramones - “Sheena Is A Punk Rocker”)
7. Franz Ferdinand (Blondie - “Call Me”)
8. Duffy (Paul McCartney - “Live And Let Die”)
9. Estelle (Stevie Wonder - “Superstition”)
10. Rufus Wainwright (Brian Wilson -” Wonderful & Song For Children”)
11. Scissor Sisters (Roxy Music - “Do The Strand”)
12. Peaches (Iggy Pop - “Search And Destroy”)
13. Adam Cohen (Leonard Cohen - “Take This Waltz”)
14. Elbow (U2 - “Running To Stand Still”)
15. The Like (Elvis Costello - “You Belong To Me”)
16. TV On The Radio (David Bowie - “Heroes”)
War Child’s 'Heroes' will be released Feb 24
