Love the baseballs. They can be kind of hit and miss but when they hit, they hit it out of the park.
Cake is also a king amongst men when it comes to covers. Looking back over this thread, I see lots of my favourite covers and cover artists are already out there.
So.... lets go with:
The Darkness
Postmodern Jukebox
I'll prefer the PMJ version 9.5 times out of 10. Even though the Darkness was a classic.
