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)

Thanks for these! I consider myself a huge CJ fan; but that album totally eluded me. Their new one, All That Reckoning, is fantastic BTW.

Hey Joe - Vasti Jackson, Black Cat Bone
Walk Away Rene - Southside Johnny & TAJ, Vonda Shepard
