On Going - Remakes (songs) you like

[Benevolent One]

I was just listening to John Mayer's remake of the Jimi Hendrix song Bold As Love and it got me to thinking about how many songs have been remade very well. You don't have to like them better than, or even as well as, the original. I'll list a few to start.

Little Wing - as remade by Stevie Ray Vaughan (originally done by Jimi Hendrix)

Crimson And Clover - as remade by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (oringinally done by Tommy and the Shondells)

Smokin' In The Boys Room - as remade by Motley Crue (originally done by Brownsville Station)

No Easy Way Out - cover by Bullet For My Valentine (originally done by Robert Tepper). This song was featured in Rocky IV, and this video is pretty well done including scenes form Rocky movies.

Alright, any and all Stevie Ray Vaughan references get my attention and undying approval. Stevie was, and is, my favorite artist ever!
