In my own opinion, i've got faith that good bands do no longer do many covers, yet as quickly as I have been to come to a decision on one, i might say Van Halen for (Oh) rather female. BQ: i'm a performer, and Stairway to Heaven is my decision. BQ2: That Van Halen conceal is extra perfect than the unique, in my opinion. additionally, rather plenty any conceal of a Bob Dylan music is extra perfect than the unique through fact he won't have the capacity to sing, even however he writes o.k.. BQ3: no longer elementary to slender right down to one, so U2, Bon Jovi, crimson Floyd, and Led Zeppelin.
