Classic Rockers Network

Classic Rock Fan Community: Led Zep, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Doors & More

Back in the 60s and 70's, classic rock bands often covered songs by other classic rock bands. And some of the better current bands do some great cover versions too. And some of them did versions even better than the original! What are your favorites?

Here are a few of my more famous favorites:

- Gloria by The Doors (originally by Van Morrison)
- Love Reign O'ver Me by Pearl Jam (originally by The Who)

And this one is pretty rare!
- Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band by Jimi Hendrix (originally by the Beatles)

Roadhouse Blues and Born To Be Wild by Blue Oyster Cult. Top versions and getting guest Robbie Krieger on Roadhouse) is great (of course!)

Thats a great one. My favorite cover is the Hendrix one, but that Gov't Mule one is great as well.

Here's another - Roxy Music - Jealous Guy (Lennon).

One of the loveliest covers I have heard is Julie Fowlis, a Gaelic musician, singing Lon-Dubh (Blackbird).
