  i'm 2nd to mention 801 live. for 10 years now i'm convinced that no cover comes near 'tomorrow never knows'; eno stretches and smoothes this beatles song, as good as it gets.

  Anyone mention Patti Smith's version of "Hey Joe"? That song is amazing. But then everything she does is amazing.

  -Nutshell- Alice In Chains redone by Staind
  -Would? -Alice in Chains redone by Opeth
