Quite a few to choose from but I have some personal favourite cover songs, like Carol, Something bout you baby I like, A mess of Blues.
Some would say Roadhouse Blues has to be the gem, but In the army now has to be the most successful. But then theres Rockin all over the world.
Any thoughts?

Good call, that is a class version. I actually like Quo's studio version too. |

I'd have said Roadhouse Blues, but the original by The Doors is so good, maybe it's simply because it's a great song. Although Quo's live version in Madrid tops even that, but the images that accompany it certainly assist. Always a fan of Bring It On Home, personally, although I appreciate fans of Sam Cooke would wince at it. And probably some Quo fans  |

My top 3
1. Juniors Wailing
2. Roadhouse Blues
3. Bye Bye Johnny
I struggle a bit after those.

I don't think Quo managed to make when you walk in the room their own. Watching them perform it in suits didn't go down well with me.
Some of the stonking roadhouse live performances can't be beat.
For studio best cover, BBJ.

Going back to the 60s, I liked their versions of the Bee Gees, 'Spices And Specks', Tommy Roes' 'Sheila' and the Lemon Pipers 'Green Tambourine'

I Like all the usual suspects that's been mentioned Roadhouse Blues, Juniors Wailing (apollo version because I was there) etc But I do like Democracy (Leonard Cohen cover) that came out on a Readers Digest 4 CD box set. Also a sucker for FR cover of I can see clearly now Came out as a single with his solo album One Step At A Time (I think)
