Yep, I had Watchtower as my #1 cover, but I suppose it's all about priorities.

Time for the epic. And sorry, but I'm not a believer in Freebird. Just don't think it's that great of a song. When it comes to what I'd consider to be truly epic, I'm thinking about indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding, heartache and the loss of god...and the kind of guitar work that is closer to an aural painting than electricity and metal. Cabaret, snakes and fire, tripped-out guitarwork, distance and cacaphony, spoken word poetry -- and probably the most famous use of the f-bomb in rock music, though you'd pretty much have to hear them live or on a bootleg to find out just what Mr. Mojo Risin' wanted to do to his mother, though it's clear on any version. You got it:

Epic - 3.3 - The End - The Doors

Trendsetter - 2.8 - Respect - Aretha Franklin
