Sorry for being a little lame, but just what is a cover Song? I guess someone is going to have to explain this for me, cause I'm totally lost....!

OK SatinKzo, I just learned something, and you all thought I was to old to learn anything. Shame on you all, and Thanks SatinKzo...!! You are a Good Teacher!
So now to this, and I hope it qualifies, as they are both favorites of Mine

Signs -- Five Man Electrical Band (covered by Tesla)
Last Kiss -- J. Frank Wilson and The Cavaliers (covered by Pearl Jam)

"Rock 'n' Roll", first by Lou Reed, then by Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. Another one would be, " Heard It Through The Grapevine" by Gladys Knight and the Pips, and then covered by Marvin Gaye. (Maybe the greatest "soul" song I ever heard.) Later covered again by Creedence Clearwater Revival. I enjoy all three versions.
Oh, and I thought it was a song that was the "cover song" for a CD. i.e., FLy by night by Rush is the title song for the album of that same name.
I really like:
Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails.
Disturbed's cover of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis
In both cases, I like the cover better than the original.
I am all for credit being given where it's due, so it bugs me when a band does a cover and fans assume it is an original song of that band (understandably, and usually it's the younger fans). But other than that I like a good cover song when I hear it.
Good thread, Sat.

A few years ago I noticed that I like all songs published with the title "One". At least all the ones (no pun intended) that I know of: Metallica, U2, and Creed, Three Dog Night (all different songs, same title).
it was "One"

Ah, thanks Paul, I know that song but never realized it was simply called "One". I do like that one too, so I'll add it to that one list.
"Turn the Page" by Bob Seeger, as covered by Metallica
