    That album is very nice and should appeal to non-Primus fans as well (especially if those non-Primus fans only know "My Name Is Mud.")

    But the answer to this is The Melvins. It doesn't really matter what they're covering because it's always awesome. This cover of Roxy is, however, demented and bizarre and frightening and Jello Biafra! So here you go:

    Show me another band that does covers as well as (the) Melvins. Just listen to “Sacrifice” and “The Green Manalishi” - Buzz & Co take those songs to another level. (My favorite from Everybody Loves Sausages is “Station to Station”, though.)

    Even though I had this LP, and I am sure many here know of it, generally speaking, in 2015 it is relatively obscure:

    Its not a favorite, and maybe not obscure - but well done.

    All of the covers were very subtle and nicely done.

    My all time favorite: The Fibonaccis-Purple Haze, a real hoot, and a great L.A. 80's prog band in disguise as new-wave and punk.

    This one:



    Also, pretty much anything by Dread Zeppelin. They did an album of classic rock covers ("The Fun Sessions") that just makes me bust out laughing every time, especially their take on "Born on the Bayou."
