For many an original song that they love cannot and will not ever be duplicated by a cover, but there are many songs that have been done equally (debatebly) well by others..

So do you have favorites?

 

What are your favorite covers of favorite songs?

      Foo Fighters did a couple of Led Zeppelin covers, live 2008 from Wembly Stadium. They also had a couple of very special guests to play with them.

        "Don't Throw Your Love Away * The Searchers 64'

        Their 1st of many covers, their rendition is great, I thought it was the original.

        The Orlons 63'

            3 Dog Night did a cover of "Easy to Be Hard" for  the play/movie HAIR. The original rendition from the movie by Cheryl Barnes is considered to be the best. what do you think?

              The original might be more appropriate for the movie (it would be hard for an actor to do a band version for the movie), But, as a stand-alone song, I think 3 Dog Night is much better musically.

                  "I'm Into Something Good" Hermans's Hermits breakthough hit. Was originally done by American's the Cookies a year before 64'. Written by Carole King & Gerry Goffin, The original & Brits cover almost are identical, except for the genders. U B the judge.

                    "Piece of My Heart" * Janis Joplin & Big Brother & the Holding Company.

                    their version  of 67' Erma Franklin {sis of Aretha} a year later,  was more R&R & hit  #1.But Erma's original wasn't too shabby.

                          As Long As I Have You - Roger Daltrey (Garnett Mimms cover)

                          https://youtu.be/nmotaD4kILY

                           

                          Roger kills it with his raw and raunchy blues vocals.

                           

                          Original: https://youtu.be/Hc2y9X08tN8

                          Garnett Mimms, Classic 60’s uptempo R&B


                          Both are great!
