Beatles-Rolling Stones
Monkees-Paul Revere & Raiders
Joe Cocker-Rare Earth
Grand Funk Railroad-Traffic
Three Dog Night-Argent
The Who-The Guess Who
Guns-N-Roses-Wings
Steven Stills-Isley Brothers
Prince-Tom Jones
Fleetwood Mac-Santana



It's ok if you want to add to the groups who did the same song.

That's all I got off the top of my head

I couldn't do any of them.

I know of three different songs with the same name written by three different artists.
ELO / Santana / Spooky Tooth

The Fleetwood Mac / Santana one was performed by Stevie Nicks on the most recent tour.




3 Dog Night-Argent is "Liar"
Paul Revere-Monkees is on tip of tongue and driving me nuts. "Stepping Stone"?

How about
3 Dog Night-Traffic
Slade-Quiet Riot
Neil Diamond-Deep Purple
The Box Tops-Joe Cocker
Bruce Springsteen-Manfred Mann
Supremes-Phil Collins
Dylan-Clapton-GNR
Springsteen-Pointer Sisters
Bob Seger-Kenny Rogers
Lionel Ritchie-Kenny Rogers
Mellencamp-Pat Benatar
Jefferson Airplane-CSN
Sammy Hagar-Rick Springfield
Doors-Jose Feliciano
Jeff Beck-Stevie Wonder
Stones-Linda Ronstadt

Tears For Fears - Gary Jules
Michael Jackson - Alien Ant Farm
Badfinger - Def Leppard(*)
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Tina Turner
Joni Mitchell - Counting Crows
Atmospherics - Pukka Orchestra
Don Henley - The Ataris
Tommy James and the Shondells - Tiffany - Billie Joe Armstrong
Five Man Electrical Band - Tesla
Talk Talk - No Doubt
The Kinks - Van Halen
Ritchie Valens - Los Lobos
Cranberries - Bad Wolves

(*) Def Leppard can fill out this list nicely since they released Yeah!, a 2006 album that was nothing but covers.

I'm going to guess Badfinger-Def Lepard is "No Matter What"
Ritchie Valens-Los Lobos "La Bamba"
Kinks-VH "You Really Got Me"
Five Man Electrical Band-Tesla "Signs"
CCR-Tina Turna "Proud Mary"
Tommy James-Tiffany- "I Think We're Alone Now"

Supremes-Vanilla Fudge
Blue Cheer-The Who

One clue(and tidbits) about The Who-Guess Who song.

Guess Who version wasn't sung by Burton Cummings.

Also a lot of fans mistook the Guess Who version of the song as originally done by The Who which it wasn't.

They (The Who) received so many requests to sing the song that they eventually did(their version is on the The Who Live at Leeds Album).

I think The Who never did a studio version of the song.

Probably not enough for it's own thread, artists who rerecord their own songs.

Rick Derringer- "Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo" first appears on Johnny Winter And album, he records a solo version
Greg Allman - "Midnight Rider" first appears on ABB album then he does solo version
Whitesnake - "Here I Go Again"
Joe Walsh - "Turn To Stone"
Bob Welch- "Sentimental Lady" first appears on Fleetwood Mac album, then he does solo version
Paul Rodgers - "Spirit of Love" first appears on solo album then rerecords with The Firm

Another one is songs that writer gives away but never records their own version.
Original songs by artist that appear on live album but never record a studio version

Joe Cocker-Rare Earth
Grand Funk Railroad-Traffic

Clue:

All 4 did the same song and it was written by Traffic's Dave Mason.

I'm not going to answer because I looked it up. This one isn't exactly fair because both versions you list are covers, and the original version is still the best known although the artist is forgotten. Johnny Kidd

Feelin' Alright. Traffic gave it away. 3 Dog Night did it too.

I didn't see this one when I first went through the list. That's 'Cum On Feel the Noize'.

Is that 'Don't Talk to Strangers'?

That's 6 for 6!

This is totally a guess but don't some artists re-record their songs to put on Spotify? Just off the top of my head, Steve Winwood's 'Valerie' on Spotify isn't the single/music video version. I'm pretty sure I've come across other songs where the released single version isn't available on Spotify, just an alternate version. If those count as artists re-recording their own songs then a separate thread might be possible.

I've Done Everything For You

Did Pointer Sisters do Pink Cadillac? Answer I was going for is Fire.

Falco-After the Fire
Spencer Davis Group-Chicago
Richard Harris-Donna Summer
The Who-Blue Cheer-Eddie Cochrane
Grand Funk Railroad-Kylie Minogue
Three Dog Night-Nilsson
Supremes-Vanilla Fudge-Kim Wilde
Bob Seger-Tina Turner

Der Kommissar. The Falco version is fine, but that After the Fire cover just bugs the living shit out of me.

Bang a Gong (Get It On)…great cover by Power Station.
