great list. i just downloaded ben's cover of complicated. as humerous as it is, i can see him singing it.

[Carlo Marx]

they do a good take on me, but rbf's take on me is the greatest cover song ever done, hand down. if anyone says anything different, they are unquestionably wrong.

[Carlo Marx]

great list. i just downloaded ben's cover of complicated. as humerous as it is, i can see him singing it.

the scary part is he actually does a really really good job of it.

When did Blacklisted cover Burn?

[born to expire]

Obviously Me First And The Gimme Gimmes are the kings..

Sure.


Me First and The Gimme Gimmes are a shitty band that makes money recording bland versions of other people's songs.

Most of the time, covers should only be done live. At least that's my opinion.
