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?

            Over The Hills And Far Away - Nightwish, Gary Moore cover

            https://youtu.be/CwED4C5FJuo

             

            NW does a great job on this classic rock masterpiece, love how they picked up the Celtic vibe in their cover. 

             

            Now here’s the original … RIP Gary

                      Ok, this isn't a great cover, however, I couldn't resist the pairing of the two singers.

                       

                      "Spinning Wheel" - original by Blood Sweat & Tears

                       

                      Most unlikely pairing :

                       

                        Gene Simmons and Englebert Humperdink - singing cover of  "Spinning Wheel"

                        Unlikely suspects, for sure! It’s amazing, how well they harmonize. I didn’t know EH was still recording.

                          @MaVolta , that was recorded in 2014. I think today EH is 85 or 86.

                                Another good cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is by Toto, Steve Lukather on vocals and guitar. Great job! Love that solo.
