If you don't know, or missed this one...check it out. Dean Gray's 'American Edit' is Very Cool (with a capital 'V' and 'C').

 

Basically this guy going by the name of Dean Gray took Green Day's album 'American Idiot' and mashed it up with all kinds of great songs including U2, Johnny Cash, Travis, Oasis, and a lot more into an album called 'American Edit.' He didn't just do it, but he did a really really good job. All he asked was that listeners donate some moolah to charity. Of course, Warner Bros. shut him down. Interestingly, Billy Joe Armstrong (lead-singer of Green Day) thought the project was pretty cool, too.
