[Magic32]

I really enjoy this version

Like so many others, died young... "...Larson died on December 16, 1997, in Los Angeles, California, as a result of complications arising from cerebral edema triggered by liver failure...."

 

[Magic32]

I have always liked this version

 

[bantamlaker]

Otis! My man!

 

[MSGRET]

How about some Aerosmith, a band that played at my high school after prom party back in 72. Enjoy this cover of Cryin'.

 

[MSGRET]

You wouldn't suspect this from Carrie Underwood, enjoy.

 

[MSGRET]

The begining of "Shut Up and Kiss Me", great cover of Led Zeppelin, enjoy.

 

[MSGRET]

School of Rock covering the Mama's and Papa's, enjoy.

 

[MSGRET]

Final one for the day, a different type of a cover. Sina is doing all of the parts to Rapper's Delight, not bad for a 15 year old, who's second language is English. Sorry for the German at the end, I will not translate it.

 

[Scud49]

Always loved this cover the best:

 

[Scud49]

Mona Lisa Twins doing the Beatles "Tell Me Why"-

 

[CajunHusky]

 

[Kaizen]

Tennessee Waltz ( 1959 ) - CONNIE FRANCIS , Origin singer Patti Page.​

​

 

[Scud49]

The Petersens doing the Beatles "Here Comes the Sun".

George Harrison I'm sure would approve:

 

[DrummerDee]

Disturbed..Sound of Silence

 

[Bigboote]

Here’s one of my favorite covers of a really really big song.

 

[Bigboote]

And another:

 

[Jackcatscal]

Wooden Ships - The Airplane's version of the CS&N classic song:

The creaking sound at the beginning of the song was David Crosby's sailboat, which I believe was moored in Santa Barbara, CA at the time.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Patti Smith covering Dylan's "Changing of the Guards."

They shaved her head
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo

 

[Jackcatscal]

Beth Hart bringing chills down your spine.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Miley covering Melanie.

 

[MSGRET]

Voodoo Child feat. Sina, cover of Led Zeppelin's "Staiway to Heaven", enjoy.

 

[Bigboote]

This is my favorite version of the Howlin' Wolf classic. It also shows that the Doors were SO much more than Jim Morrison. The drums, guitar, and keys/bass are just amazing.

 

[PoppaBear]

John Brim original released in 1969. Recorded in the 50's, however.
