Top 5 in no perticular order.........
1) Sail on Sailer -The Beach Boys (Not a big fan of their music but this song just sticks in my mind. Great cover band song.
2) Can't You See -- The Marshal Tucker Band (Great drinking song. Perfect guitar lick and yes it is about a women that broke your heart)
3) Free Bird (live version)-- Lynyrd Skynyrd ("What song is it you wanna hear?" The 8 min guitar solos in the live version recorded at Fox theature in Atlanta, GA will blow you away or you are no rocker.)
4) Tumblin Dice-- The Rolling Stones (Great guitar licks and a real solid drum beat. This song never gets old unlike Keith.
5) Interstate Love Song-- Stone Temple Pilots (Recorded in the ATL this song rocks.)
(Just missed the cut... Space Truckin'/ Highway Star by Deep Purple. These two are great songs to crank up loud. DP is a great old school rock band.
Another Man's Women/Angel by Atlanta Rythem Section I grew up with Southern Rock. Gosh I miss these guys)

Great replies all.
Although I was looking for your top 5 covers. You know a remake, by someone other than the original artist.
Keep them comming.

ooopppss I think I am the one who got this going in wrong direction. Was never good at reading instructions.
My bad. :conf:
Gun's N Roses- Live and Let Die ( Paul McCartney)
Five Finger Death Punch-Bad Company ( Bad Company ) Lyrics have been modified.
Metallica-Turn The Page ( Bob Seger )
Smash Mouth-I'm A Beleiver ( The Monkeys )
Aerosmith-Come Togather ( The Beatles )
There are a dozen others but those come to mind right off and I have them on my play lists.
