Adam34688 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 This is a tough one for me. I could go the conventional way and say a Bob Dillon song like Knockin on Heavens Door, or All Along the Watchtower, but I will say Simple Man. They did a pretty good job by not changing very much about it. What do you guys think? adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Jayson_ Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 but I will say Simple Man. They did a pretty good job by not changing very much about it. Who covered who? It's hard to narrow it down, but I'll try. RHCP's cover of Stevie Wonders' "Higher ground" is great. But my favorite would have to be SRV's cover of "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix.

Batman Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 This is a tough one for me. I could go the conventional way and say a Bob Dillon song like Knockin on Heavens Door, or All Along the Watchtower, I don't think that's controversial, most people would agree that Hendrix's "Watchtower" is better than Dylans...Well most people I've asked anyways.

katie_sane Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 oh, has to be The Beatles version of "Twist & Shout" originally by the Isley Brothers. Now that is a rockin song. John Lennon's voice sounds out of this world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 oh, has to be The Beatles version of "Twist & Shout" originally by the Isley Brothers. Now that is a rockin song. John Lennon's voice sounds out of this world! I read that they recorded that version on the last effort after an all night recording session where the smoking and singing had shredded John's vocal chords. My two favorite covers are Ray Charles' "What'd I Say" covered by Rare Earth and Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" covered by Jimi Hendrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Oh, and how about Pat Boone's cover of Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti"? Now isn't that just the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy1104 Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 There has been quite a few good covers over the years but the one that stands out in my mind is Aerosmith's version of the Beatles Come Together. I am not a fan of the Beatles songs being covered, but I admit this was an excellent cover which first appeared in the movie Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

RonJonSurfer Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 The Four Seasons covered Dylan's "Don't Think Twice" under the name of Guess Who. (Not THE Guess Who!!). It was a novelty record of sorts. My sister read Tiger Beat and 16 back in the mid 60's. One of those mags had a contest..Guess who the mystery band was. The mag actually had a plastic record in that issue of a band called Guess Who. It was obviously Frankie Valli and The four Seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppurr Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 The only ones I have heard off of there are the David Bowie cover of See Emily Play and the Velvet Revolver cover of Money.
