For vocals and musical groove though I still like my Cake.

Still The Flaming Lips really impressed me at the Who Tribute. I am not real familiar with them but they were great that night:

BTW both made this guys list of the top five covers for War Pigs:

Thought PEARL JAM was pretty great too.
Also caught the LIPS last year playing the DARK SIDE OF THE MOON in it's entirety...interspersed with songs from THE WIZARD OF OZ.
Really amazing!

I also like the Dresden Dolls version on the 5 best.

But none of them comes close to the original, IMO.
