Ice of Boston by the Dismemberment Plan. The slow build to the euphoria of the shout-along chorus is just damn perfect.

Miss You - Rolling Stones
Use Me - Bill Withers

Doesn't matter what band is covering it, people get up for these two.

great song. But I'd rather hear the studio version. Live RHCP is hot garbage other than Flea going wild on stage.

I've never heard a live version top the studio. Mick Taylor's tone on Sticky Fingers

I agree RHCP are usually garbage live but Frusciante goes off on don't forget me live versions.
