With a lively debate about "Re-Machined" going on in the 'Album Reviews' forum, I thought that it is about time to to start a thread about cover versions.
Glenn has been featured on quite a few tribute albums and laid down his own versions of various songs whenever he had the artistic freedom.
So what is you take on the topic?
1:1 reproduction of the original or create something new out of a classic tune?
Additions very welcome!
Cheers,
Christian
P.S. Here's a good one to start with...

The late, great Kevin Gilbert covers the Zep classic here -

this version was rejected by Atlantic when Gilbert handed it in for inclusion on 'Enconium - A Tribute to Led Zeppelin' back in 1995, and so it only appeared on the bonus disc for the Limited Edition version of KG's solo album 'Thud'.

Now impossible to find, the CD is long deleted, it's not on iTunes or youtube.
So, here's AUDIO only! my favoutite cover version of Europe's 'The Final Countdown' from a band called The Rotosonics.
I have their sole album on CD. It's great!
Enjoy!
