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)

"I Found A Reason" - Cat Power.  Just Chan Marshall's voice and piano.  Breathtaking & haunting.  A must hear, and usually my reference when showing friends my system.

Originally by The Velvet Underground. 
I got Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoff's Under the Covers Vol. 2 a few days ago. Pretty good. My favorite is "Go All The Way" (Eric Carmen/Raspberries), but Rundgren's "Hello It's Me" and Petty's "Here Comes My Girl" are also very good.

An even better covers album is "Cinnamon Girls" wherein various female artists cover 21 Neil Young hits.  Introduced me to Dala, who are beautiful!

Also, the album Encomium, covers of Led Zep by various (all well-known) artists. One of my favorite albums.
