    Just read through the thread for the first time and for me in a runaway its Ellen Mcllwaine's "Can't Find My Way Home" originally done by Blind Faith. I still have their one and only album.

    Woo Hoo by the 5.6.7.8's cover of the The Rockin' Teens 1959 true classic.

    And of course, this truly unforgettable Clint Eastwood cover:

    Somebody did a very nice cover of My Maria by B.W. Stevenson, but for the life of me I can't remember who it was.

    Govt. Mule covering just about any great classic rock song out there. And Warren Haynes and his band actually know how to cover the song in a quality way. Not some lame attempt.

    Led Zep's When the Levee Breaks has always been a favorite of mine, a amazing cover in and of itself. But I recently found this amazing version by a Zep cover band and I'm hooked. Bonham and Jones were off the hook in the original, but these gals do it great justice...
