I don't see any Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies on that list....

David Cook's recent cover of Billie Jean was pretty cool.

You should research those you aren't familiar with. ;)

Here's the David Cook deal, spoon-fed just for you. It's an American Idol performance. Don't judge me for watching it. -_-[YOUTUBE]QpX-kndqHnE[/YOUTUBE]

I'm not one to judge, just asking for clarification. I've been known to do some questionable things at my wife's request... like go to Long Island.

thrice, elenor rigby is good. As is "send me an angel"
Ataris, boys of summer
Pennywise "california dreaming", "I get around", "stand by me", "mrs. Robinson"
Gob "paint it black"
all the Me First stuff is good
goldfinger "99 red balloons"
Millencollin "every breath you take"


There was a sick cover of Tribe's "Scenerio" by Ferrell and Busta Rhymes on VH1 the other day. I have it recorded...in HD

I actually am pretty fond of Limp Bizkit's "Faith" cover, although I know I'll catch flack for it.

AFI had a sick cover song I heard a while back, it may have been a NIN cover or something, but I could never find it.
