The results are apparently on an MTV2 show and are available for purchase on iTunes.
Your poll, should you choose to accept it: Have a presently performing band cover a classic album of your choice.
This shows a shocking lack of imagination, but I would like to hear The Darkness cover "Frampton Comes Alive." I may think of others as the day progresses.
*I have loved Guster since they pranked the entire community of KaZaa users by releasing the "Meow Mix," a fake version of their album to deter piracy of the real release. The lyrics were all substituted by a guy singing "meow" over and over again.
