BrandMan211 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Little Bitch - Big D and the Kids Table. They played in my area so I checked them out, and they made a much more upbeat version of it, and surprisingly they succeeded. Link to post Share on other sites

Wyld Card 5 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) I like the Foo Fighters version of "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty. It's not quite as good as the original, but it's still a pretty good track. Edited September 25, 2008 by Guest Link to post Share on other sites
