    I only liked their Pink floyd tribute myself. But they were not the greatest nor the worst. Actually... same with the songs I posted above earlier. They are just entertaining covers. I really dig the Ancient cover of Black sabbath myself though.

    Juice Newton's rendition of Break It to Me Gently I like better than Brenda Lee's (I tend to prefer precedents & originals).

    Jimi Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone made me a Hendrix fan overnight (it took the Monterey version on DVD to do the trick). Something about JH on screen. Too bad I missed him in the flesh.

    The Quincy Jones cover of Take 5 is just magic. George Benson dos a respectable cover of it as well.
