  1. I'll second the 'Federal Funding' comment. Although with Cake, something good would definitely have been left out either way. I'm also surprised that you went with 'No Phone' over 'Wheels' from Pressure chief. And am I to understand that re-makes are acceptable on your lists?! 'The Guitar Man'? You mean to tell me that you won't accept a great song off of an EP or a B-sides record, but you will accept a remake off of a studio album?!

  2. federal funding was ok, didn't blow us away, but was still good.....as far as covers --

    faith no more - war pigs
    guns n roses - hair of the dog
    ratm - renegades of funk, how i could just kill a man, the ghost of tom joad
    cake - guitar man, i will survive

    if the song is good enough, it's here.....if this stems back to your gnr post, we have since added Lies because we found an updated wiki that listed it as a studio album

  3. I thought Cake's version of "War Pigs" was pretty damn good.

  6. Guitar Man. God, how did they take a third rate (at best) song and make it great without completely changing it. Genius.
