Linda Ronstadt: I Fall to Pieces The Beatles: You Really Got a Hold on Me Till There was You Roll Over Beethoven Rock and Roll Music The Animals: House of the Rising Sun The Doors: Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) The Beach Boys: Sloop John B.

Hendrix-All Along the Watchtower (Dylan) Nouvelle Vague-Guns of Brixton (Clash) Shonen Knife-Top of the World (Carpenters) Odetta-Times They Are a Changin' (Dylan) Orbison, Nazareth-Love Hurts (Everly Brothers) Be Good Tanyas-Waiting Around to Die (Townes Van Zandt) My Chemical Romance-Desolation Row (Dylan) I also like the Cowboy Junkies cover of Thunder Road and the Dread Zeppelin covers mentioned above (I particularly like the mashup of Zeppelin's Heartbreaker and Elvis' Heartbreak Hotel). For so aweful, it is inspiring: Sebastian Cabot reciting Dylan songs (e.g., It Ain't Me Babe) Bob Dylan and Tiny Tim doing Sonny and Cher's "I've Got You Babe" Captain Kirk doing "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" Mae West doing "Twist and Shout," which is itself, a cover/ripoff of "La Bamba" |
Agree that the SHEL cover is very good, thanks for posting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Us-TVg40ExM A favorite from the first time I heard it, and definitely one of the most unique. |

Black Dog covered by Dread Zeppelin(the band who covers Led Zeppelin in Reggae style) 6. My way covered by Nina Hagen 7. Hotel California covered by Gipsy Kings in Spanish |
There is a young group of sisters from Fort Collins, Colorado called SHEL that do an incredible version of "Battle Of Evermore". They are aged 18-24 and are fantastic! I've seen them live several times. I hope they make it really big because they are very talented. They are classical trained by their parents. Doesn't hurt that they are also very pretty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHeiguXGy-E |
