I really love that rufio cover. And I usually don't like rufio.

[Hilikus]

thats a damn good mix my friend.

[dretti]

If you added in Ryan Adams - Wonderwall, along with radiohead, it would be absolutely perfect.

good mix

[MrChainsaw389]

no Me First and the Gimmie Gimmie's? I guess that wouldn't work if you're going for a mellow mix.

oh, I forgot another good one:
John Mayer - Message in a Bottle

[FinchBulldog2]

Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons

[atticus_4132]

Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons

i hate that german whore who sings that...shes like 40 years old and started a comeback one year ago and shes in every stupid show about the 80's and 90's in it....and shes always just singing that song..

but the goldfinger cover is good..good pick

[WakingTheMisery]

NOFX - Olympia, Wa
Social Distortion - Ring Of Fire
Smoking Popes - Pure Imagination [er... That Willy Wonka Song]
NOFX - Gin And Juice
No Use For A Name - Hybrid Moments
Suicide Machines - It's The End Of The World As We Know It
Less Than Jake - Happy Days

i'm not sure if Gin and Juice, NUFAN, It's the end of the world... or Happy Days are fake.. but they're good covers.
gin and juice is not covered by NOFX dipshit. the band that did the cover is the berlin project. the singer sounds nothing like fat mike.
