A cover done well can be very enjoyable. I tire of the album originals of Zep songs, but enjoy the song all over again when it is a cover by someone else.

Then there are covers that reimagine the song, like "White Rabbit" by Sanctuary. Pretty awesome. And who can forget "Tamborine Man" by William Shatner (!)

I think even Bob Dylan could agree that Shatner did the best version of that song!

"The Transformed Man" is one of my favorite albums. I sometimes play it to torture my guests.
