    The original-probably my favorite beatles song

    [video=youtube;0xoNERai3D8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xoNERai3D8[/video]

    In the last few years of their existence, the Grateful Dead did covers of this song

    Jerry's voice wasn't what it once was.

    many people don't realize Cash moved to Jamaica and was revered by some of the reggae artists. Strummer was one of the first white superstars to embrace reggae (his famous Bankrobber was produced by Mickey Dread in Jamaica). So these two white musically legends were widely respected by black reggae artists: a feeling that was mutual.

    Duane Allman was part of D&D but he didn't play on the two that his successor in the ABB covered. I love Susan's vocals. I think she's really cute too!

    I don't think I've ever heard her before. She does have a very nice voice. I probably don't find her as cute as you do though. :wink:

    Hmmm so many good covers, many well known, or few know they are covers at all. How about a couple that are very different from the originals that I like.

    Two very contrasting covers first These Boots Are Made For Walking by KMFDM
    [video=youtube;dZv7aipLyIo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZv7aipLyIo[/video]

    Then Iron Man by the Cardigans
    [video=youtube;Q3gQSPMHPm0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3gQSPMHPm0[/video]

    The originals

    Can't have a thread about covers without maybe the most successfully repeated cover of all time, House of the Rising Sun.

    I think it could be safely said that The Animals first made it popular but they were doing a cover.
    [video=youtube;MgTSfJEf_jM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgTSfJEf_jM[/video]

    Then came The Doors, hard to say which I like better The Animals or The Doors version.
    [video=youtube;CJ1oZVGmTr0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ1oZVGmTr0[/video]

    Joan Baez performed it before The Animals, but again, still a cover.
    [video=youtube;NkyYHYUcGgo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkyYHYUcGgo[/video]

    Libby Holman, still a cover
    [video=youtube;C4ZGrlO7JU4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4ZGrlO7JU4[/video]

    So many versions, hard to pin down the history, it's really been an evolution.

    I could go on and on and on, Sinead O'Connor, The Beatles, Nina Simone, Jimi Hendrix, Waylon Jennings, Muse, Five Finger Death Punch, Dolly Parton, etc. etc.


    Just for kicks, found this while looking for vids to link, a version played with Tesla coils.

    Someone actually posted House of the Rising Sun on page 1 or 2, IIRC. Great choice though. :)
