Have to agree with The Clash's 'I Fought the Law'…top 10 material. I'm not surprised the Stripes' cover of Jolene didn't make it, but for those of you lucky enough to see it live at 930 last year…totally unforgettable. I think Jack started crying. Oh yeah, and Yo La Tengo's Fakebook, an almost all covers album. It's brilliant, especially Tore Me Down.
