The tributes to Lou Reed continue to pour in, with everyone from Emily Haines to David Byrne chiming in on the legendary artist’s unstoppable influence, and in the flurry of thank yous and eulogies are more than a few noteworthy tributes.

Rather than toss them up individually or as they happen, we figured we’d make things a little easier on you guys and post some of the best covers here.

Perhaps most notably is Arcade Fire’s covers of “Perfect Day” and “Satellite of Love,” both of which were played last night at a live-streamed concert in Los Angeles. Listen to them book end new song “Supersymmetry” with both Reed covers here, thanks to NPR (scroll 17-minutes in:

Bigger than Arcade Fire’s tributes is this massive, star-studded send off that features Neil Young, Elvis Costello, My Mornjing Jacket and more running through “Oh! Sweet Nuthin” at a California benefit concert.

Here, Pearl Jam covers “I’m Waiting For the Man” in Baltimore. But not to be outdone, Arctic Monkeys covered his other huge hit, “Walk on the Wild Side” in Liverpool.

And lastly but not leastly (maybe) is this new, to the point rendition of “Perfect Day” from Twin Shadow.

Did we miss any? Don’t hesitate to let us know if we did. You’re missed, Lou.
