Another haunting cover is Gary Jules covering Tears for Fears "Mad World." You can be the manliest of manly men and that song can reduce you to a ball of tears in the fetal position.

Very cool. And agree on him having decent chops as a guitarist. Though I do hear a lot of srv/Jimi channeling. Ever hear his solo electric version of wind cries Mary? Awesome stuff.

I've been listening since the late 90's. just before "no such thing" became a big hit. Eddies was before that even. I have a recording of the last two nights of a 3 night run at eddies back in 05. Supremely good stuff, and a very difficult recording to get a hold of.

I vote for All Along the Watchtower by Jimmy but then again all Bob Dylans songs are better by others.

Atlanta Rhythm Section did a great cover of Spooky (originally by the Classics IV)

This is a pretty good one, it fits over exposed pipes or vents nicely.
It may just be the best of all time:

I agree:
HURT

I love the song Vincent covered by NOFX also.

All I Wanna do is Make Love to You by Halestorm is really good.

Lzzy Hale is the best female vocalist in rock since Nancy Wilson.

Grace Potter kicks ass! Awesome voice IMO. Many people cover Cortez, however, Neil's is still best

My roommate said that, quote, "The Korn version of Another Brick in the Wall is WAY better than the original ever was."
