The only good cover of “Hallelujah” was the John Cale one.

And DEVO’s cover of “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” is great....and even Mick liked it.

Hawkwind is one of my favorite bands, too! :-)
But I played it for a Stones fan and they couldn’t abide. :-/

Punk bands covering The Stones pretty much always works. Alien Sex Fiends did a great cover of Satisfaction. Social D with Back Street Girl. Idles with Cry to Me. It’s a long solid list.

Pat Boone doing Holy Diver is great. Can’t believe people are ragging on it. The swing and lounge style is sublime. Same goes with Shatner’s genius.

Well, you got me beat. I’ve never seen any of them!

Always a great groove. Seen them a few times. Good show. Even if Mike needs help remembering his lyrics.

Cover of Highway Star with Yngwie trying to sing. Nobody had the nerve to tell him, "STOP IT!!!
Highway Star
To: Allegra
Omigosh, I didn’t know that existed. I listened to some snippets. That’s really horrible. When the album first came out, Pat Boone made the rounds to all of the daytime talk shows wearing his signature leather vest and ear rings.
I thought that maybe he did change genres and was singing these rock/light metal songs in the same style of the originals. Then I heard one of his rendidtions....
I immediately bought the CD for the very same reason you describe, and it was always a hit near the end of the evening when we were all a bit drunk.
