	I like this idea, but a couple of things...the parentheses are backwards on the Rod Stewart song, they should be around the first two words. And Bowie co-wrote that song with Iggy Pop, so its not technically a cover. You might also think about listing the first popular version of songs instead of first version, since many of the first versions were unknown.

	Also Manford Mann covered two different Springsteen songs

	In the Roberta Flack/Peggy Seeger title, the 4th and 5th words have been transposed.

	I'm starting to wonder about my source. They miss a spot and apparently have some titles wrong. I've fixed the ones identified so far. @Etherridge2 What's the other one, so I can add it?

	BombaySapphire:	Nov 28th, 2011 at 13:44 GMT		1 point
	@hscer: The other one that @Etherridge2 referenced was most likely "Spirit In The Night". There was actually a third Boss song they covered, "For You", but it was the least commercially successful of the covers.

	I Fought the Law was originally written/recorded by Sonny Wilson and the Crickets.

	The Byrds did like 20 Dylan covers.

	Oh, and Harrison co-wrote the Dylan tune listed too, but the best known version is by Olivia Newton-John!

	You gotta give a little flexibility on the Brinsley Swartz cover. Allow it without the abbreviation and the brackets, for example. and replace the "smart quote" in front of the "B". And yes, in many cases the artists covered multiple songs of another act, but the titles are in alphabetical order, so that should narrow it down a lot. But a very interesting list. I enjoyed it.

	Added a couple alternates for that one. Not sure how to treat the inaccuracies of the source in deciding what constitutes a cover. Should I remove them, or keep them with a star, or what?

	Allison Krauss covered a song by the FoundationS (plural). A damn good song, too.

	BTW, the Faith No More cover of Commodores changed the title slightly. You're showing the original title, but the cover added the word "I'm" in front.

	Fixed and fixed. Thanks.

	It's amazing how many of these songs I had no idea were covers. Great quiz!

	I never knew Harrison didn't write Got My Mind Set On You..

	Van Halen also covered the Kinks "Where Have All the Good Times Gone" (great song).

	Manticore:	Dec 3rd, 2011 at 15:49 GMT		1 point
	It's misleading to call "China Girl" a cover. David Bowie and Iggy Pop co-wrote it. Iggy recorded his version, and later David released his own version.

	Smokey Robinson & the Miracles' version of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" was released after that of Gladys Knight & The Pips, according to the All Music Guide (http://www.allmusic.com/album/special-occasion-r67481). The Miracles' album was released in August '68, while Knight's version charted in October '67.
