Wow Tom. In one blog post you site one of my favorite elected officials, one of my favorite writers and one of my favorite rock bands. And somehow they all make sense together in a title. Color me impressed :)

Re: Rock’s Greatest Covers: Patti Tops the List

and her name was G L O R iiiaaaa

that is the best wrong song ever in a way. I collect different versions of it. Patti's is by far the most innovative in its imagining of the song.

Other best covers are

"I wanna be your man" Rolling Stones version

"If She Ever Comes Now" Nirvana version

Everything the headcoatees ever did but especially "Length of Pipe" and "I've gotta move".

"Can't seem to make you mine" Alex Chilton version.

Actually there are a few artists whose whole gig is doing amazing covers. Like the Cramps.

I never listened to him before but wow those lyrics are incredible. Its so hard to do topical stuff without sounding phoney or like you are trying to hard. Really amazing.
