Good call on that one, definitely a great cover.

The Beatles of course have done a million great covers.

Van Halen have good covers of You Really Got Me and Oh Pretty Woman.

Cream - Spoonful

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Shit, that was the only album they put out that I didn't like. It could have been great but it turned out really bad in my opinion.

Wow, really?  They covered classic punk/rock/hip hop songs.  They made them their own, and the paid proper respect.  Rage never put out an album that I didn't like.  What in particular didn't you like?
