Cool, I was hoping you’d have Dread Zeppelin on there. Nice!
Van Canto does acapella covers of heavy metal and hard rock songs.

The best cover band I EVER heard was a Crosby, Stills & Nash cover band – their site has songs you would swear are by the original artist. The band is Woodstock Mud. I dunno if you can post a link but if not just google em. http://www.WoodstockMud.com

13 is by Danzig and is even credited in the video. It was one of the covers that John Cash did during the “American Recording” sessions with Def Jam’s Rick Rubin. Rubin invited Cash into his studio after Nashville all but forgot about Johnny’s life time work, and opened up all his catalogues and let him do what he felt like doing. They created a classic session where Johnny covered many contemporary artist it his own distinctive way. Most of the song that where covered have eclipsed the originals.

The Baseballs should be on here. They make well known pop songs in to a faux rockabilly tune! Awesome!!!

Some pretty good high-end cover bands you have here. I hate to rain on your parade but big productions can sometimes make the cover seem better than it really is. With that in mind, I submit for your approval, quite possible the best pure cover you’ll ever see, done by four guys from Newfoundland in a crowded bar in Halifax…this is Signal Hill covering Queem: Bohemian Rhapsody

Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain – they’re incredible, and so overlooked. They’ve been around for ages and have done a huge diversity of incredibly witty ukelele covers, from the who to kate bush to talking heads and nirvana. Seriously listen to them, they’ll change your life (that might be an exaggeration, but they’re awesome).

Baked A la Ska are also great, but quite new – mix of ska covers (bowie – ska man, for example), and originals.

I expected The Australian Pink Floyd Show to be #1. Damn.
