I vehemently disagree on Dylan. Dylan covers are pale soulless imitations.

I’m not sure how to post videos but Jamie Johnson’s cover of Lynard Skynards four walls of raiford is great

IMO, the best cover and tribute to Led Zepplin and Stairway to Heaven ever.

I saw Heart perform Stairway to Heaven a few years ago at Starlight Theater. It was a decent version and my seat was about 30 feet or so from Nancy Wilson. She is definitely aging gracefully. I have never been to a Led Zeppelin concert so a direct comparison is not possible for me. I do agree Lugnut. I saw that performance somewhere and Page and Plant seemed to really enjoy it.

Boom now that's a cover.

I would have never thought this would be as good as it is.

il.trapper that is good!

Crank it up boys and don't be scared!

I like Willie but Alison has the voice of an angel...

Covers night on the jukebox is always interesting at our favorite brewery.

Don't know if it is the voice or the look....But I like this one really well !!!

It might be ok for workin out or breakin the speed limit in middle of the night

il. I bet you like this one too...

Another of my favorite covers...

For you guys who think doing covers is ripping off someone else work or a slap in the face to the original artist, here you go. A true American classic redone by Home Free at the request of Don McLean the original artist. He approached them about doing this version for the songs 50th anniversary. Don still sounds amazing 50 years later.

Leo has well over 400 covers available on YouTube. He takes the songs he covers and makes them his own, with a strong heavy metal influence. He is incredibly talented, but way to goofy acting. He does a great job covering Adele's "Hello".

Bob Dylan--great song writer. But it was others that made many of his songs popular. The Byrds and Roger Mcguinn made Mr. Tamborine Man and My Back Pages hit singles.Mcguinn is a better singer and a better guitar player than Bob.
Peter ,Paul and Mary-covered Dylan and had a hit.
Jimi Hendrix -covered Dylan and had a hit.
Manfred Mann-covered Dylan and had a hit
Those are just a few of the musicians that took a greatly written song and improved with their versions.
A cover of another persons song is actually a tribute to that person.
