Ok so a lot of covers flying around atm. A lot of bands also do covers as part of their setlists, so I ask, what are your favourites?

These are two of my faves. they're done by a guy called Dave Mcpherson. He's the vocalist/gutarist in my fave band and I just think he's amazing. There is a bit of banter at the beginning bu stick w/ it.

Cover of Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff's Boom! Shake The Room

Cover of John Meyer's Split Screen Sadness - this one dedicates to my friend Bev.

that is when you have an original song, and when that song is later played by someone else, it is called cover song

Are you joking, but I explained it properly...

The Arrows recorded song I love rock n roll first, and that is the original versoin of the song, later Joan Jett recorded the same song and her version is called cover song, do you get it now?

Any album by Me First And The Gimme Gimmes...

They are a cover band made up of band members from Lagwagon, NOFX, and others!

This is one of my favourites Smile
