of what i've heard those are great choices... but i like the gypsie kings' cover of hotel california better than me first and the gimme gimmes.

There, just did.
I have literally several thousand cover songs in my music collection, and it's really hard to find the best ones. Most of them, I'm not even aware I have until I come across them randomly. But everything in my collection is something I liked when I heard it once upon a time. :-)

Thanks! I'll try to find them both.
Pixies cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain song Head On is excellent.
I'll track it down.
Speaking of the Jesus and Mary Chain, I like their cover of "Surfin USA."
