4. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Country Roads
3. Less Than Jake - I ThinK I Love You
2. Reel Big Fish - Take On Me
1. Gob - Mr. Sandman...best line ever

Mr. Sandman
Bring me a nightmare
Give him a pair of eyes with a frightening gleam
Give him a beer ad empty beer cans
And long wavy hair like Pat the Wolfman

Mr. Sandman, someone to dread
Someone who's creepy and after my head

what are your favourite covers?

I love Ben Folds' cover of Bitches Ain't Shit. So funny.
Some cool covers in my regular rotation are:

All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
Renegades of Funk - RATM
Don't Change - Grinspoon
I Wanna Be Sedated - The Offspring

 

[eel1979]

Ministry - Lay Lady Lay
Foo Fighters - Down in the Park

That's all I can think of at the moment, Im sure theres more
