Foo Fighters "Down in the Park".
WHY? And they're so fucking lame. Why do people like this band? The beards?

I think that Killdozer's version of "One Tin Soldier" is the best cover of all time. Other than my brother, everyone else I have ever played it for thinks IT is the worst cover ever. How wrong they are.
I am always embarassed to hear the slew of covers at the end of Pearl Jam concert cd's, "Know Your Rights," "Rockin in the Free World," "I Believe in Miracles," "Hide Your Love Away."
The worst of all, though, is hearing Eddie Vedder sing "Fortunate Son." That is a true embarassment to humankind.

Upon further research, I have uncovered that this band is called Nonpoint.
I would
not go to see a band named "Nonpoint." WTF, indeed.

I agree, Manfred Mann is the ultimate cover band. They made gold out of crap.
Uh, well,
Quinn the Eskimo was ok to start with. Sorry Bob.

Oh my god. I was going to say Smashmouth or something but just the idea that the above actually happened takes it. GAS.
...Anyway, Pseudo Echo rules! Love the song that the new wave girl break-dances to in Friday the 13th pt 5.

Uh, you guys know that Marilyn Manson covered "Down in the Park" too, right?

I think whoever was involved with that version of 'Ever Fallen In Love' in honour of John Peel at the British Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in front of John Peel's family deserve a special prize.

I think their version of Demolition Man negates that.
When Grace Jones out-covers you with the same Police song, you are truly nowhere.
