The Breaking Blog doesn't believe in guilty pleasures — if you like something, you like it, and that's that. (We make no apologizes for our T'Pau love here.) But the folks behind the Guilt by Association album series have found a way to mine the concept for greatness — or at least a few interesting albums. Volume 2 brings together a bunch of artists you may not have heard of yet covering songs you're likely very well acquainted with: RS Breaking artist My Brightest Diamond handles Soft Cell's oft-covered "Tainted Love" (download it below!), the Forms tackle Billy Joel's wordy "We Didn't Start the Fire," Takka Takka take a crack at Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight." On the more contemporary front, Max Vernon covers Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" and Matt Pond PA mellow out My Chemical Romance's "I'm Not Okay." (Full track list after the jump).
