Favorite song covers

by **G.I.Jim** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 11:59 am

Just came across one of my favorite covers of a Toto song, and thought it would be cool to have a thread to post our favorite covers of original tunes in. I'll start off with a few.

Here's Andy McKee playing an amazing acoustic version of "Africa"...

Our boy JSS (with some guitarist hack named Yngwie) playing Kansas-"Carry On My Wayward Son". :wink:

Hugo's version of "Mother Father"...does a great job!

Well, that's just a few of my favorites. So what about you? I'm looking forward to hearing some cool covers!

I've never heard of them, so I don't know if that's a tribute or the actual band...either way, it sounds awesome!

I like this version of 'Shameless' by Garth Brooks:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KrqJssj8Fw

By the way, I had a heck of a time getting a video that actually had Garth Brooks in it - I typed in 'Garth Brooks' and almost all I could get was some freakin' band called 'Shameless' and every other guy with a cowboy hat who likes to cover GB!

Whitney Houston's version of 'I Will Always Love You' is better than the original by Dolly Parton, though I like her simpler version too:

Although this isn't a "rock" song, I really like this cover of Knockin' on Heaven's Door by Randy Crawford. It was used in Lethal Weapon 2.
