I was neve a huge fan as a kid cuz it was "stupid country stuff". But as I started to actually play music, I realized the talent it took, and appreciated it more. Great links.
It's kinda funny because just the day I was poking around Borders and came across "Picking on Green Day" which is simply some Green Day songs made bluegrass.

There are some samples on that page, and definitely worth the listen. I ended up picking up the CD and have been playing it non stop in my car =)
