An overlooked cover tune LVII

If The Association's version of "Windy" isn't heavy and sludgy enough for you, check out POPDeFECT's 1991 rendition.  As pleasant as the original 1967 hit is, you might never expect that anyone could rock out to it.  POPDeFECT, however, turns it into a guitar/bass/drums instrumental shred-a-thon, and it works.

I played POPDeFECT's version on KCOU 28 years ago today.  I still wonder how the band would cover "Along Comes Mary," which would work more overtly as a heavy instrumental.
