Your Favorite Cover Songs?


One of the highest honors that can be bestowed on a rock band is to have some other well known act cover your songs.

Here are some of my favorite cover songs:
1. "Well...Alright" (Original by Buddy Holly covered by Blind Faith)
2. "LA Woman" (Original by The Doors covered by Billy Idol)
3. "Love Me 2 Times" (Original by The Doors covered by Aerosmith)
4. "Come On Everybody" (Original by Eddie Cochran covered by Led Zeppelin)
5. "Refugee" (Original by Tom Petty covered by Melissa Etheridge)
6. "The Battle Of Evermore" (Original by Led Zeppelin covered by Heart)
7. "Hard To Handle" (Original by Otis Redding covered by The Black Crowes)

Agree that (any) Cowboy Junkies cover is great!
Johnny Cash - “Hurt” (Trent Rezner)
Hendrix - “All Along the Watchtower” (Dylan)
Patti Smith - “So You Want To Be A Rock and Roll Star” (The Byrds)
Sisters of Mercy - “Knockin on Heaven’s Door” (Dylan)
Love Spit Love - "How Soon Is Now?” (The Smiths)
Led Zep - “You Shook Me” (Willie Dixon)
An unlikely new one:

Country singer Gretchen Wilson just released a cover of Led Zep's "Over The Hills and Far Away" that kicks some ass. Straight up rock n roll.
