Billy Joel's - You May Be Right and New York State of Mind
Bob Seger's - Night Moves and Turn The Page
Don Mclean's - American Pie and Starry Starry Night
Gran Funk Railroad's - Were An American Band
KISS's - Hard Luck Woman
Georgia Satelite's - Keep You Hands To Yourself
Bob Dylan's - To Make You Feel My Love
George Strait's - 80 Proof Bottle Of Tear Stopper
George Jones - White Lightnin

These are the covers I have heard him do live. There are several others that have been recorded on CD or Video. He just has a knack for doing justice to covering other artists work.

"Hair Of The Dog" has to be one of the most popular hard rock / heavy metal cover songs.

Led Zeppelin was the first band I ever heard playing it, but they did not originate it.

In the era of hair metal / glam metal, Guns N' Roses and Britny Fox covered it, and it sounds good enough from both bands that I still have it on my iTunes.

I love Willie Nelson's cover of "The Scientist" by Coldplay.

Original edition by The Allman Brothers Band found HERE.

Cover version by Molly Hatchet found HERE.

The cover has a vastly different tempo. The original blues edition was adapted and enlivened into a rhythm 'n' blues version.

Hard to believe you could possibly improve upon the Archies version of Sugar, Sugar (

)but Wilson Pickett manages to do it.

Can I possibly put in a word for every band, with aspirations to musical greatness or not (maybe they just wanted a disc that would get played on the radio in their home town), which recorded a version of "Big Boss Man"?
This record has been recorded by any number of known acts. I find it intriguing as how they approached the song, and chose to record it.
{I would dare admit to trying to foray this song at somebody's karaoke night}.
