Deeper into Excitable Boy, I always liked "Tenderness on the Block," because you can so tell it's a Jackson Browne song. "Sorry, Dad, but your daughter wants to fuck" is such a Jacksonian-Browneian song topic.

I remember some of that vh1 doc but never heard the album.

"Please Don't Go" by KWS was a decent college dance bar song based on a shit song by KC & the Sunshine Band

No, that was me doing my Cobain impression. I hate that cover. The original is much better.

Pretty much every song Afghan Whigs cover is as good or better than the original.

The Band--Don't Do It. Probably they only time a Marvin Gaye song was ever improved. Thanks to Levon's plaintive wail.
