I think Bob Dylan is one artist who has been covered more than any other. The only thing is I can't find any videos of his originals anywhere on the net so I guess all I can do is add a couple of covers of probably one of the first songs I heard by him. cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pro_Fl9shjg"]YouTube- Jimi Hendrix - Like A Rolling Stone cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuGjBNSRi1c"]YouTube- Rolling Stones - Like A Rolling Stone cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BBBMNjPblY&feature=related"]YouTube- Bob Marley - Like a Rolling Stone PAX

When I'm under the influence of that killer weed I really shouldn't post. It made me so lazy I didn't look for any other covers for Purple Haze.

This song has been covered by numerous artists. I really can't post the original because who wrote it is in big dispute. Some people believe it was written in the 1900's in England, and others believe it was an old American folk song. Either way, it is a great song. I'm posting the oldest version I could find and a couple of the covers that I really like and a cover that most people are familiar with. oldest cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5tOpyipNJs&feature=related"]YouTube- leadbelly - house of the rising sun cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVOyh6aO2YU&feature=related"]YouTube- House of the Rising Sun - Nina Simone: Best Gambling Songs cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkyYHYUcGgo&feature=related"]YouTube- Joan Baez - House of The Rising Sun, 1960 cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmdPQp6Jcdk&feature=related"]YouTube- The Animals - House of the Rising Sun (1964) High Definition [HD] PAX
