Off the top of my head I can think of:Quiet Riot - Cum on Feel the NoizeThe Lemonheads - Mrs. RobinsonDisturbed - The Sound of SilenceJohnny Cash - HurtWhat else?
Carpenters - (They Long to Be) Close to You
A lot of 50s-early 60s people generally.
>>130327348>band’s one hit wonder is a cover of a one hit wonderhttps://youtu.be/uE-itlGNap4
>>130328055pretty shitty legacy to have honestly
quiet riot have cum on feel the noize, metal health, and that randy rhoads was a founding member of the band when they were only popular in japan
>>130327348>Johnny Cash - HurtThat wasn't even close to his biggest hit. Not even in his top ten. You need to actually listen to Johnny Cash and not just click on retarded Youtube recommended videos, because you are definitely missing out.
>>130327348The queen of covers
>>130328038since singers were usually interpreters back then the difference was if you were the first person to record a particular song. some might recall that Connie Francis was the first girl singer to have an original rock-and-roll hit with the Neil Sedaka-penned "Stupid Cupid" while previous such singers had had hits with covers.
>>130327994Also...
>>130328382But it wasn't a hit. They did loads of covers
>>130328351classic choiceeven though i still think the beatles version sang by rango is the best
not a band but Gary Jules
>>130327348>Johnny Cash - HurtKys Real answer would be Alien Ant Farm
Save Ferris - Come on Eileen
>>130327994i'll give carpenter's a pass on this one since the original version is really lackluster in a way that bacharach usually isn't. he even agreed himself
>>130327348Santana -oye como va and Black Magic WomanJoan Jett and The Black Hearts -I Love RnR Three Dog Night--every song they ever recordedElvis Presley--sameMichael Jackson--mostly sameJackson 5--sameVanilla Fudge--sameFrank Sinatra--sameTiffany--samejonny cash's biggest song is folsum prison blues.....which is also a cover!
Snake River Conspiracy - How Soon Is Now
