Motorhead. Sympathy For The Devil. Took approximately 30 seconds for my wife to say, "Oh, I like this better than the Stones." She did not apologize to Jimbo.

"The Fever" -- Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

Springsteen's original version was not released officially until the "18 Tracks" compilation in 1999, but that really doesn't matter because Southside owns this song, and he always will. Turn down the lights, and turn up the volume

WNEW-FM played Bruce's "The Fever" as a bootleg for years before it got an official release.

I dig the original, far more, but I can groove with The Kooks take of Pumped Up Kicks. Plus I think its, somewhat, unique for a band to cover a contemporary artist

I'll give these kids an A for effort. That and the fact I would listen to this version of Wagon Wheel over the original.

The Los Angeles Heaters. Would you consider them national? The album was released on Columbia, but flopped.

Here's another version for Hank, by The Four Seasons:

Seattle had a punk/new wave band originally called The Heaters. They changed to The Heats, because of another band with a nationally distributed record called The Heaters.

Diana Ross took "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" back into the Top 10 in 1981. Dig those synthdrums!
