But what about the ways they took the occasional cover song and made it into their own? We're not expecting many responses to this one as most of you haven't seen their performance of many covers, but maybe a few band members will mention their favorites as well. Here's a list off the top of my head of a few covers MGM has done over the past 8 years (in somewhat chronological order)... "Take On Me"- Aha "Paint It Black"- Rolling Stones "Blah Blah Blah"- Perfect Thyroid "No Face"- Suicide Machines "Hey"- Suicide Machines "High School"- The Skalars "Ma & Pa"- Fishbone "Phoenix City"- The Skatellites "Hey Ya"- Outkast "Here We Go Again"- Operation Ivy "I Am The Walrus"- Beatles "Time Of My Life"- Bill Medley I knew of all of the acts before, but MGM's covers really got me into bands like Fishbone, Op IV, and the Suicide Machines. I guess my personal favorites are "I Am The Walrus", "Here We Go Again", and "Time of My Life". All of which MGM took an already great song and made it so much better. What about the rest of you? What was your favorite? Do you remember any songs I missed? Let us know!

by: Adam #1 Aug. 4, '05 5:49pm	Location: Scotia "Dance to the Music" was pretty sweet. "Hey" was super cool. "Blah Blah Blah" was great, except for that solo I always murdered.
by: Jeff Aug. 5, '05 9:12am	hey adam! hows it going? i also forgot we did sly's "everyday people" into arrested development's "people everyday".
by: Dan Aug. 5, '05 11:13pm	Aww man, "Skinhead BBQ" was great. I just listened to it again. Should bring that song back.

by: Catt Dec. 23, '05 10:39am	BY FAR "I Am The Walrus"- Beatles hands down end of story
