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)

Thirteenth Floor Elevators' cover of Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue."  One of the two Byrds covers of this also excellent.

Joan Osborne: "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted" (fantastic original by Jimmy Ruffin).

Joan Osborne: "Shake Your Hips" (original by Slim Harpo)

Bobby Fuller Four: "Loves Made A Fool Of You" (original by Buddy Holly).

Phil Seymour: "Let Her Dance" (original by The Bobby Fuller Four).
