The Greatest Cover of All Time, Jimi's "All Along The Watchtower",
not least because he got it out before the original. Sorry, conflating memories there. It was the Beatles that Jimi scooped, not Dylan.
Also used to great effect in both the graphic novel & the film Watchmen.
-
The Foo Fighters doing "Baker Street"? Hrm.
-
btw, All Along The Watchtower makes some appearances in the Watchmen. Two riders were approaching, and the wind began to howl ... when Nite Owl and Rorschach are coming up to Veidt's antarctic lair.
-
Their stream must be a minute or more behind their actual broadcast. Either that or their "now playing" engine is ahead of real time. Either way, I saw on the web when I loaded the player that tune #2 was gonna be Foo Fighters' take on Baker Street, sans Ravenscroft.

Baker Street is a gem of a song. I understand they are paying homage to a great song, but I'm also kinda "meh" on it.

I'm digging it mostly because it's hard to believe this was requested & approved.
ETA: in case you missed the lead-in, Larry said he's been taking requests all morniing & rec'd hundreds.

Is this, could it be? Yep, Shatner's LSD.

Holy Sh*t!
Cap'n Kirk & it's not HFH!
-
TOW-ering O-ver your HEAD!

Holy Sh*t!
Cap'n Kirk & it's not HFH!
His drama coaches must have cringed when they heard this.
-
The Sound must have a lot of sick f***s in their audience if they "weighed in heavily" for Last Kiss. Another HFH.
-
hmm, Pearl Jam and their HFH shows up... the correlation b/c these "notable" covers and their sometimes crappiness is ponderous, man.

I wasn't following Battlestar Galactica, but accordingto wikipedia AATW also played over the closing episode of season 3, was referenced throughout season 4 with mulitple cover versions, and the Jimi version played out over the finale. Might have to check that out at some point.

BOS to Diamond Dave and those California Girls

Here's one that Dave's never ventured near: Jeff Buckley's take on Hallelujah.
Take that, Captain Kirk. BOS.
-
Next up: Clapton, Jack & Ginger are goin' down to Rosedale, takin' their rider by their sides.
Yeah, I guess this is a cover but it's rarely thought of as such.
-
Ah, another strong BOS candidate (and one that has a connection to a previous artist in the set): Aztec Camera's brilliant turn on Jump! Irony comes to pop music!

Rosedale is a neighborhood in Queens; as a 14-year-old I could never figure out why Cream would be singing about it.
-
I'll BOS Nirvana's take on "The Man Who Sold the World." Lulu's version is equally good.
-
Second consecutive song to be affiliated with a prior artist in the set: Nirvana reintroduces The Man Who Sold The World to a new generation of fans.
ETA: And another BOS from me. This set has turned out to be backloaded with all the good stuff.

That'd be my BOS; one of the great let's-totally-reinvent-this-song covers. Larry really shoulda done 2 separate sets of "good" covers and "bad" covers. But then everythng in LA is in quotation marks, I guess.

what Bowie did he play?

None. The connection is Dave Grohl, who appeared in the Foo Fighters song in the #2 slot.
Although nearly any of the songs off Pin-ups would have been far preferable to Last Kiss.
-
Fact-checking the back-announce: Pearl Jam and J. Frank Wilson & the Cavaliers each made #2 with "Last Kiss"; the Beatles had a considerably bigger hit with "Twist & Shout" than the Isleys did, #2 to #17.

Y'know, either he skipped that one, or I tuned it out--I don't remember hearing that at all.
