Best Covers: Siouxsie and the Banshees ‘The Passenger’

Proto-punk becomes post-punk goth brilliance on Siouxsie and the Banshees’ take on “The Passenger.” A swinging beat and brassy horns breathe new funk into Iggy Pop’s solo fan favorite, originally released on 1977’s seminal album Lust for Life. It was a hit for Siouxsie and the Banshees who released the cover as a single from 1987’s Through The Looking Glass.
