The Ataris - Boys of Summer
I love the Don Henley version so I guess it's only natural I liked the Ataris version.

Yup, his piano playing skills are amazing. What really impresses me though is how good this song sounds even if the instrument used is so different from what it was written for. Really shows how good song writers Tool actually are.

yeah I like marilyn mansons cover of tainted love... but for me not the "best" cover

I'll probably get flamed as there are very few nickelback fans here but my favourite cover is nickelbacs take on we will rock you by queen

Thats not the best cover of that song in my opinion, Coil's is good, and Soft Cell's is also good. Those to contrast massively.

Have you watched any interviews with him. He is very interesting to listen to about things like Columbine and violence, since he is often blamed for that type of behavior, but is incredibly intelligent.

Sadly so many people do. Listening to him speak about Columbine and the likes is very, very interesting. People judge him my his appearance and blame him for these events but when he speaks about them it is clear he knows more about it then the people who blame him.

Oh crap, I completely forgot about this one... yeah, I'd say he did it more justice then Hendrix did to All Along the Watchtower.
