Another great "I Put a Spell on You" cover. I don't like Marilyn Manson as a rule, but this song just screams H A L L O W E E N !

Yes, this is a great idea for a thread!

I like Atomic Kitten's cover of Dionne Warwick's classic:

Anyone Who Had a Heart - Atomic Kitten

I like Urge Overkill's cover of Neil Diamond's classic:

Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon - Urge Overkill

I like the Searchers cover of Clover's classic:

Love Potion #9

I like Linda Ronstadt's cover of Roy Orbison's classic:

Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt

I like Whitney Houston's cover of this tune. I thought Dolly Parton's twittering on the original was really annoying.

I Will Always Love You -Whitney Houston

Great Article!

I definitely feel that Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused" was a plagairism from Holmes original.

Re: Your favorite cover songs !

Why he(jake Holmes) chose to do this is puzzling, because he deserves credit for writing "Dazed and Confused."

More than the credit he deserves the royalties.
