(a Recorded Cover)

What’s your favorite cover? If any

I would think as the original artist it would be very flattering and validating when your song is covered a lot

I’ll start with

Mazzy Star- Fade Into You

This is a nice cover

Except for maybe Yesterday, this song has been covered more than any other song. The "Louie Louie Wars" were a series of radio marathons featuring the song "Louie Louie", with KFJC and KALX (Berkeley) competing to play the most versions, culminating in KFJC's 300-version marathon hosted by the song's author, Richard Berry.

I don't know about 10 times but several bands have covered this one over the years. It's one of my favorites

Not sure how many songs I know of that have been covered 10X of more. I guess the National Anthem, God Bless America, and Amazing Grace.

Obviously, there is lots of classical music that has.

"Angel from Montgomery" by John Prine has been covered more than 10 times.

It's weird how back in the day, they would cover songs immediately, where it seems today people mostly cover older songs that have been out of circulation a while.

"Angel from Montgomery" was covered 4 times in the 3 years after its release.

Death Letter by Son House. This White Stripes cover is incredible, including a little taste of another blues classic, John the Revelator, thrown in for good measure.

How many Bob Dylan songs are we allowed to list?
It looks like Kafka already posted " You Belong To Me", that one was a contender...by Pee Wee King.
