Song title: Only Love Can Break Your Heart
Artist: Saint Etienne
Originally Done By: Neil Young
Year: 1991
Why I like this song:
Truly an astonishing cover: Granted the song is pretty good on it's own but here it's the dance treatment and it becomes something else entirely.
Somehow I get the impression that this was the moment that dance music announced itself: By reworking one of the best-selling and well-regarded artists of the seventies.
Sure the cover was clearly made out of admiration for that era but it's a strategy that paid off - and one that has been replicated many times since.
