Best Cover Song

I wouldn't say that these are the best cover songs, but they are my favorites.

3. Stevie Ray Vaughn's cover of Little Wing. as made popular by Jimi Hendrix
2. Black Label Society's cover of Whiter Shade of Pale. as made popular by Procol Harum
(a whole different side of Zakk)
and my all time favorite

1. Judas Priest's cover of The Green Manalishi. as made popular by Fleetwood Mac

thanks for listening

I've yet to hear it Roops. Hopefully, it will stay that way.

I hope I NEVER have the misfortune of hearing Big and Rich, let alone the butchering of a classic like You Shook Me. Yikes!

Alright, I'm gonna go back alittle bit.....

How bout Motley Crue "Smokin in the boys room" or " Home sweet Home" . The Boys did a good job at covering these 2 tunes....

Another great one.

Signs is a great song. Even better in person, saw Tesla at Cheyenne Frontier Days( The Largest Outdoor Rodeo in the World) a couple years ago. Gonna miss Frontier Days when we leave, we have seen some good concerts. Tim McGraw, Toby Keith, Tesla, Ted Nugent, seeing Bon Jovi this coming Friday and Def Leppard on the 28th.

Here's another great classic - - "Ballroom Blitz"

Sweet first put this song out in 1975 - since then, remakes have been done by Krokus (1984), Tia Carrere (1992 for the movie Wayne's World) and Blue Oyster Cult (2001). Still a great song - I crank it up everytime I hear it!

Oh, Yeah, and my least favorite:

Joan Jett doing AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds" - What was that all about, anyway? No one can do a better job at an AC/DC song than AC/DC themselves - they shouldn't even try. She sucked!
