I heard Dolly's version of Stairway to Heaven a couple of weeks ago. The morning crew on the local rock radio station was playing it --- I thought it was a joke they had concocted until I heard that she was promoting it on The View.

I love Dolly, but she should have just said no to that one!

BLASPHEMY!!!

No way could I agree w you Cory! lol

Being in Vegas in 01 with the wind HOWLING thru the stadium the way it only does in the desert and Dave screaming "And the wind began to HOWWWWWWL"

Being in my car after 9-11 w Listener Supported in my CD player and Watchtower coming on--- the louder I played it, the better I felt--was the first time since 9-11 I felt any sort of relief and release.

Being in Irvine in 02 w Warren Haynes guesting on Watchtower on Boyd's birthday... wow.

Three UNFORGETTABLE Watchtower moments. So no, despite my Davehead status--I could NEVER agree DMBs version was the worst one.

Reckless Kelly does the Shook me all night long cover, but its REALLY GOOD. If you like your music somewhere between country and rock.

True....it's wonderful....but it doesn't come close to stacking up to the original by Bob, nor does it come close to Jimi.....It just may beat the Grateful Dead doing it cause they didn't as frequently do it......

my vote for worst cover EVER would definately have to go to..

the brady bunch's version of american pie

yes kids, thats right..tv's favorite television children released several albums and did a cover of this song..apparently some things just aren't sacred..its the most wretched thing i've ever heard..don't get me wrong, i love the brady bunch..i even enjoy a lot of their songs like 'keep on' and 'sunshine day' but again..nevershould have tried to be down w/the times and whatnot

as a davehead, i'm with amycat.

hayseed dixie is the bomb, band. they came through bowling green, about a month and a half ago.

the gourds...are...fingerpickin' good.

shine was good...i don't wanna hear stairway, though.

a really good cover is bob dylan's "make you feel my love" done by Garth Brooks.
