Best covers ever?

Oooh just remebered.

Audioslave's version of "Seven nation army".

It's actually really good. ^_^

I listened to that a few months ago, pretty good. I like how they found a way to include a bassist, since the White Stripes don't have one.

Yup. :)

Train kept a rolln' is a great song. Never heard the original song though. :-\

It's by the Yardbirds, pretty sure there's a video of it on YouTube.

It's by the Yardbirds, pretty sure there's a video of it on YouTube.

...the song was first recorded more than ten years before The Yardbirds even touched it.

Oh. I dinnit know :/

It's one of those cases where a song becomes famous for a cover version. People associate Black Magic Woman with Santana, Hush with Deep Purple, Louie Louie with the Kingsmen, I Love Rock N' Roll with Joan Jett, Hey Joe with Jimi Hendrix... the list goes on.

Train Kept A-Rollin' is probably best known today for the Aerosmith version, and Aerosmith based that on the Yardbirds version.
