Welcome to the latest installment of the Cover-Song Showcase Showdown, in which we present you with several versions of a classic song, and you tell us which one you like best. Today’s song is the Joy Division chestnut “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” which has been covered by pretty much every dude who ever owned a copy of Substance. We’ve winnowed your choices down to four: emo-popsters Fall Out Boy, Swedish cover-song champion Jose Gonzalez, dream-popsters Slumber Party, and the Tuvan throat-singing group Yat-Kha.
