Saturday Rocks:125 cele mai bune/faimoase cover-uri

Inca de acum aproape 2 ani,atunci cand am facut Top 50 cele mai proaste cover-uri(http://warandriot.blogspot.ro/2011/05/top-50-cele-mai-proaste-cover-uri-din.html ),v-am promis si "reversul medaliei",un top cu cele mai bune cover-uri din industrie,in plin proces de creatie venindu-mi o alta idee de postare pe aceasi tema vazand un numar mare de artisti ale caror melodii au fost "luate" si interpretate in nota proprie de altii.Dupa ce am trecut de socul provocat aflarii faptului ca melodii ca "I will always love you" sau "Hurt" sunt cover-uri,am reusit sa fac un top mai mare decat cel precedent,lucru care nu credeam ca este posibil in cazul cover-urilor de calitate si care m-a ambitionat sa fac si o partea a II-a pentru cel anterior mentionat.
Si cum gusturile muzicale difera de la persoana la persoana,mi-am permis sa fac mentiunea necesara in titlu,si o paranteza aferenta acesteia acum.In topul ce urmeaza veti gasi atat cover-uri considerate mai "bune" dar si un numar mare de melodii devenite "celebre" dupa ce au fost preluate de diferiti artisti,ramane la latitudinea fiecaruia sa aleaga daca varianta "modificata" este mai buna sau doar mai "faimoasa".
