Vitamin String Quartet

A few years ago I found the album “String Tribute to AFI” at Amoeba Records in Berkeley and, being a huge AFI fan, I was intrigued. I wasn’t necessarily a fan of strings, but I felt AFI would make for some rather interesting string covers, so I bought it.

I thouroughly enjoyed it, and even found “String Tribute to The Killers” shortly after, which I also really liked. After a while I forgot about these awesome string covers and went about my business.

…until this week.

I stumbled upon the Last.fm page for Vitamin String Quartet, who performs all these string covers.  I was surprised to learn that they have over 250 albums of string covers of bands from Metallica to Kelly Clarkson.

I went through and found my favorite covers and added them to a playlist.  Unfortunately, I can’t play or embed this playlist until I have “45 songs by at least 15 different artists”, so I’m going to work on that one, but check it out:

Update: I added additional artists and tracks so I could asctually get an embedable playlist:
