Top 10 Cover Songs

Growing up and learning the guitar, I practiced new skills by playing the songs of bands that I idolized, which at this point is a list of bands I might not want to share publicly (Think punk rock). When I started playing in bands I always loved playing cover songs. It's a lot of fun. The following bands clearly think so, too.

As always, leave comments, flame wars, wild defamation, and unproven hyperbole below.
