Adam34688 0 Report post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batman 2 Report post 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 0 Report post 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmy1104 0 Report post 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 15 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
