'I can't forget' (Leonard Cohen) by The Pixies. Great song. Also, 'First we take Manhattan' (same Leonard Cohen album) by REM.

[Mobius]

That's right.  Kill Surf City is not a cover, just sounds like the original.  Speaking of JAMC, can't forget Pixies' "Head On."

"nine inch nail's "supernaut" is unbelievable."<P>Good tip...I just found it on kazaa.<P>Great version of one of my fav songs.<P>

[Lazer Guided Melodies]

how about Spacemen 3's cover of Transparent Radiation by The Red Krayola or their cover of Rollercoaster.<P>Also, Johnny Cash's cover of I See A Darkness

[walkman]

Have to agree with The Clash's 'I Fought the Law'...top 10 material.  I'm not surprised the Stripes' cover of Jolene didn't make it, but for those of you lucky enough to see it live at 930 last year...totally unforgettable.  I think Jack started crying.  Oh yeah, and Yo La Tengo's Fakebook, an almost all covers album.      It's brilliant, especially Tore Me Down.
