All sorts of covers. Some great ones for sure. Many we know about, many are wow that was a cover, didn't know that. I will start with a few.




This one goes as one of my "Best" covers

This is in the I didn't know category - hard to believe this is a Nine Inch Nails song (don't really listen to them but know who they are)

He also did a good version of Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage."

Positively 4th Street
Johnny Rivers

Bob Dylan said this was his favorite cover of this song. I concur with Bob.

This one was from 1968:



I always thought they sounded like a group of kids who visited one of those "Record your Own Song" shops at the mall.

My first try of this seems to have gone wrong, but Heart's version of Stairway to Heaven for the Kennedy Center Honors of Led Zepplin was very good. I can't find a legitimat YouTube version.

"Came in Through the Bathroom Window"
by Joe Cocker



To my estimation, the only time someone covered a Beatles tune and it didn't suck.

Old Crow Medicine Show took a chorus that Bob Dylan wrote, added a few verses and had a hit.

This song was my introduction to Brave Combo at Westfest 1989. Any group who can get a bunch of sweaty dirndl-clad Czechs dancing to Jim Morrison can't be all bad.

How about Dread Zepplin?

Zep tunes, reggae style, Elvis on vocals = gold
