I learned a ton of guitar parts from these guys. If no one gets it then I will venture a guess later on.

I have said nothing. LOL

They had about 20 songs per album too. One of the coolest bands ever.

Phenomenal - I saw them in 1986 at a police fundraiser in Lacey, Washington - it was a trip, all these old ladies got their mod gear out of mothballs, psychedelic miniskirts, dayglo gogo boots, beehive hair, and the band was out of this world - drum solo for twenty minutes, playin knick knack on everything in sight, the amps, the floor, mic stands, the bass strings - incredible. We were the only people under 40 in the grange.

I mentioned Queen and The Cars above as bands that I can't recall doing covers.
Did AC/DC do any?

Those groups sound possible, they were unique enough. ACDC would be a real win, since they are pretty straightahead rocknroll, seems like they had to cover something.

Gotta ask the matt05, he has a line on this info

Thats ok - I had no idea that they had originals.

My buddy's Dad had at least 20 of their albums. They would fire out a bunch each year.

someone beat me to it. the band did at least 1 cover with baby please don't go

the cars are mentioned. they released a few covers on the mid 90's anthology. one was a cover of fun time

queen, i know of 2 covers. an instrumental of the traditional god save the queen and big spender live plus the did a live medley of 50's rock tunes

Again, I think the interesting distinction is the role that covers play in a band's career.

A staple of their ongoing work? A regular part of their studio recordings?

A frequent live treat?

A part of their early days only, pretty much?

A fun fling late in their career?

Reserved mainly for a covers album only?

A B side? An appearance on a tribute album?

An occasional live treat?

Something that does not appear on an official release?

bettyhynes,

Crimson is a good call. They did cover Holst's "Mars, The Bringer of War" on their first tour.

I saw them on Broadway in 1995, just before the Beatles Anthology I came out, and Adrian Belew did do a solo cover of the Beatles outtake "Free As A Bird." Beautiful.
