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)

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.

4. Dansing Queen covered by Jazz Baltica
5. Black Dog covered by Dread Zeppelin(the band who covers Led Zeppelin in Reggae style)

well, apart from really liking SHEL's cover that Mofi posted (thanks Mofi!), here are a few of mine:

Thunder Road (Springsteen) by Cowboy Junkies

Darkness, Darkness (Youngbloods) by Cowboy Junkies

Over the Rainbow by Eva Cassidy. also - pretty much everything Eva Cassidy did was a top cover.
Agree that the SHEL cover is very good, thanks for posting.
