Great covers
I'm sure this is covered at least twice a week on this forum, but does anyone know any really great covers? Saw TVotR doing Mr Grieves the other day and it was great, inspired me to do a blog post. Oddly, it didn't even make the list.

Anyway, most covers are shit, but if you know any great ones please share.
