And I think Norther Kings did a lot of 60's and 70's cover songs.
 
Morgana Lefay covered "Razamanaz" by Uriah Heep, "Strange Ways" by Kiss, and "Cocaine" by J.J. Cale (the well-known cover of this song was by Eric Clapton).

Metalium covered "Smoke on the Water."

Morgana Lefay covered "Razamanaz" by Uriah Heep,

'Razamanaz' is originally from Nazareth (Agnew, Charlton, McCafferty, Sweet), from their third album of the same name.

Name some 60s/70's cover songs in our genres please.

Queensryche- Scarborough Fair

Great track! Queensryche also did that whole "Take Cover" CD. Although perhaps I should go back and check the thread title to see if it was "60s/70s cover songs that don't suck." If that was the case, then nevermind.

:p

EDIT: Thought of a few others...

Iron Maiden - Cross-Eyed Mary
Heir Apparent - Sound of Silence
Flotsam & Jetsam - Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)
 
Pain of Salvation - Yellow Raven :headbang: (from The Scorpion's Virgin Killer)
