The Counting Crows covered Sweet Virginia on the 09 summer tour and should have made the list. check out http://www.crowstown.com to listen to the song. Don’t get me wrong I love phish but the Crows version is killer.
Crowfan,
Their version was featured in the Sweet Virginia Cover Wars:

This tournament is simply a compilation of all the winners, had the Counting Crows received more votes than Phish that week, they would be in the tournament.
Thanks for reading.
naive melody really should just be declared the winner right now….just saying.
That’s quite the biff on the first guitar solo of PJ’s Baba O’Riley.
Give Us The Money Lebowski? Over Panic?
