Ghost Riders: Suicide & Alan Vega

Suicide, Rev & Vega's covers

Suicide being a real reference, a lot of covers of Rev & Vega's songs have been done by other bands.
Here's only a list, that I'm afraid is far from exhaustive.
Covers from tribute albums are re-listed in this page. See also Tribute Album page.
Covers with personal contribution by Alan Vega or Martin Rev are in Rev, Vega, or Suicide page.

tracks from other sources than tribute albums
