I'd say that "blues" has to be the most covered music genre. Led Zepplin and George Thorogood made a career out of it.

Then again, classical music is done again and again by different orchestras, conducters, ect. (pause) Does that count?

BulletCatcher 1) The Misfits
2) Slayer (every half-assed metal/hardcore band tries to cover Raining Blood)
3) The Beatles
4) Nirvana (I'm surprised that I haven't seen this name yet)

slavemason For awhile there it seemed like alot of punk bands were covering the GOGOs. I wish I could remember who cover "Can't stop the world". That's a good one.
May 2nd, 2003 02:06 AM
UnDeath Im gonna have to go with Misfits and Sabbath on this one.
even Im guilty of covering Misfits with my shithole band. Skulls, Scream and Hatebreeders are some of the songs that we toss around...

Generator86 The Ramones seem to get covered a lot, too. The Misfits get covered more, though. Fuck, even I'm guilty of doing that. Hybrid Moments and Earth A.D. :/

FlakTrooper Dylan gets his songs covered a lot and people tend to forget he did them originally, such as "All Along the Watchtower"

My thoughts exactly Ninja. Beatles and Misfits as well, although the Misfits covers aren't the most widely heard, they are pretty common.
