Has anyone listened to Dread 

Zeppelin?

Their first album 'Un-Led-ed' is BRILLIANT. The 

first two songs, 'Black Dog' and Heartbreaker' blow 

me away.

Very unique and highly recommended.

Dread Zeppelin is an <a title="United States"

hahahhah..... I LOVED that album back...whenever 

the hell it came

out... wish I still had it.  A reggae group fronted by an

Elvis-impersonator doing Zeppelin covers...... LMAO.  

Highly

recommended to anyone with a sense of humor 

regarding music. 

Actually, the lead singer, Tortelvis, is an "Elvis 

impersonator impersonator". He doesn't 

impersonate Elvis at all, he impersonates Elvis 

impersonators. I heard him in a radio interview 

explaining this. I was laughing for weeks.

I also like Me First And The Gimme Gimme's version 

of "Mandy" and "Sweet Caroline". I never realized that 

these are actually great songs, just the originals 

overplayed. 

Johnny Cash's covers of "One" and "Solitary Man" 

give me chills.

The first time I heard The Sundays version of "Wild 

Horses" put a lump in my throat. Ah, that voice.

My all time favourite is The Ramones singing the 

theme from "Spider Man" and The Lunachick's cover 

of "Heart of Glass".
