OT: Favorite Cover's of Classic or Iconic Songs

[CL82]

 

[Cedar]

Van Halen — You Really Got Me

 

[bantamlaker]

I see we are ready playing fast and loose with the terms "classic" and "iconic".

What’s new? Haven’t we had something like ten “generational”players in the last year or two?

I consider this one of the best Iron Butterfly covers of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. I think that Sina does a good job playing Ron Bushy's part on the drums, she was 17 at the time this was done, enjoy.

A piece of trivia, the lead singer Doug Ingle was drunk or high or both when this was recorded and was supposed to be singing "In the Garden of Eden". They were basically messing with the lyrics and the engineer was rolling the tape. When they were done recording it, they liked it and kept it as recorded.

Already been a couple versions on here, but this is my favorite. The history on this song goes way back.

Lion Sleeps Tonight (Mbube) - Ladysmith Black Mabazo / Mint Juleps

 

[meyers7]

Los Lobos covering both Buddy Holly and the Grateful Dead at Woodstock (II). Putting that norteno twist on it.

Not Fade Away / Bertha - Los Lobos

 

[meyers7]

Foxes and Fossils covering Eagles who covered Steve Young's "Seven Bridges Road".

 

[meyers7]

Eva Cassidy covering "Over The Rainbow" from, well you know. Written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg for Judy.

It's a different take. Done live. But after you've heard it a couple times, you'll probably come to same conclusion as me that this is the way it always should have been sung.

 

[Ozimoto]

Olivia Newton John covering George Harrison.

 

[Ozimoto]

A Beatles cover by Crack the Sky.

A live version of I am the Walrus.

 

[Ozimoto]

Many acts have covered this song. Judy Collins probably has the most well known version, but Suzy Bogguss did a nice job with it too.

 

[meyers7]

Ataris covers "Boys of Summer". Packs a little more punch than the original. Lyrics by Don Henley, but Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers wrote the music. Brought it to Tom first, but Tom didn't think it fit them. Producer Jimmy Iovine suggested Henley.
