Re: Your favorite cover songs !

I like a lot of the covers that the Rolling Stones did early on including:

Fortune Teller

Money

Time Is on My Side (Irma Thomas)

Pain in My Heart (Irma Thomas, Otis Redding)

Under the Boardwalk (Drifters)

I've Been Loving You (Otis Redding)

Everybody Needs Someboy to Love (Solomon Burke)

Their best remake had to be "It's All Over Now". Another really good one was "She Said Yeah".

Colin Blunstone (Zombies) did a great cover of Jimmy Ruffin's

Is Kiss' "2000 Man" the Jagger/Richards composition?

Yes it is! It's actually a pretty rockin' version w/Ace Frehley singing. I was a huge huge Kiss freak in '79 so when this came out I loved it...quite different than the Stones
