same song, different artists

No, but I'm sure it's genius. I never saw Cash or Waylon...I really need to see Willie while he's still touring.

 

Dock of the Bay -- Otis Redding, Percy Sledge, Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, Pearl Jam, Sammy Hagar, Michael Bolton.

 

New York, New York; Frank Sinatra (good version); Liza Minelli (terrible version).

Enter Sandman; Metallica (good version); Motorhead (terrible version).

 

These guys are great. I like Waylon, too. And Waylon's kid can really sing

 

Boys of Summer - Don Henley, Ataris
The Real Me - The Who, WASP
If You Don't Know Me By Now - Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Simply Red
Since I Don't Have You - Skyliners, GnR
Last Caress - Misfits, Metallica
I'll Be There - Jackson 5, Mariah (well before the pre-slut days; how I miss her from then)

Didn't Rod Stewart also do Downtown Train? Or was that a different tune entirely?

I believe Brian Wilson also has done covers of Barenaked Ladies' "Brian Wilson." That would seem to be the ultimate for this list, no?

 

As does Jane's Addiction

 

One - U2, Mary J. Blige

 

I, too, missed Waylon and Cash, but I've seen Willie three times now. He's slowing up, so go soon.

Montezuma -- Damn. I've only got Otis and PJ.

Oh, and Scarlet Begonias -- The Dead and Sublime.

 

I still hate Sheryl Crow for murdering Guns N Roses' Sweet Child O' Mine.

One-ply whore.

 

Uncle Tupelo's versions of "Moonshiner" (Dylan) and "Great Atomic Power" (The Louvin Brothers)

 

This thread got me to throw the Two Rooms disc on on my iPod.

Sting's cover of Elton John's "Come Down in Time" is really soulful.
And Joe Cocker's "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" is outstanding.
I could go on, but I'll stop with Rod Stewart's "Your Song."

 

Here's one I'd have never remembered without looking at my ipod:

Down in the Boondocks -- Billy Jo Royal and New Riders of the Purple Sage.
