Dan T. Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 What are some of your all-time favorite cover songs? Two I've heard recently from "Deadicated" a Grateful Dead tribute album: Lyle Lovett's version of "Friend of the Devil" and Los Lobos' version of "Bertha". An alltime classic is "Mr. Tambourine Man" by the Byrds. Dylan himself was awed by the Byrds' version. Others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Manfred Man's version of "Blinded by the Light." Van Halen's version of "Pretty Woman." The redo of MJ's "Smooth Criminal." mmm so many more just can't think of them all at once... OH OH-- Gov't Mule's version of War Pigs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best of all time IMHO. Worst of all time- "I shot the sherriff" by Clapto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an NBC special on Garth a few years ago. Think he was in Central Park. It was obvious with the stage & production he had, he wanted to be in KISS when he was a kid.

Where he was a moody rocker and totally abandoned his Garth Brooks personna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
