I almost picked the Spider-Man Theme for the Ramones, but I've just got a soft spot for their Needles & Pins. And I was listening to MP3s the other day and discovered that I actually like Gary Oldman's My Way from the movie better than the real Sid's. Weird huh? And did you know that Gary Oldman hates that movie, and said he wishes he'd never made it? Bite me, DR. SMITH. All great ones… soooo many good covers out there.
