Its bluesy shuffle and suggestive humor made it a natural fit for Aerosmith, who covered it on their 1975 album Toys in the Attic. вЂњBig Ten Inch RecordвЂќ was not a hit for Bull Moose Jackson when it was released as a single in 1952, with most radio stations (understandably) hesitant to play such a risquГ© song. (And one year later, Quiet Riot would score another hit with another Slade cover song, вЂњMama Weer All Crazee Now.вЂќ) 55: Aerosmith: Big Ten Inch Record (Bull Moose Jackson) It wasnвЂ™t until the mid-80s that they finally found a foothold in the American market thanks to Quiet RiotвЂ™s faithful cover version (right down to the unusual spelling) of вЂњCum on Feel the Noize,вЂќ which helped usher in the trend of hair metal. Slade were glam-rock godheads in their native England, but they struggled to replicate their success across the Atlantic. 56: Quiet Riot: Cum on Feel the Noize (Slade) Raitt was one of many artists who enjoyed more commercial success by covering John Prine than Prine ever did singing his own songs, but thatвЂ™s to take nothing away from his original recording of вЂњAngel from Montgomery,вЂќ which ranks as one of his very best compositions. вЂњI think вЂAngel from MontgomeryвЂ™ probably has meant more to my fans and my body of work than any other song,вЂќ Bonnie Raitt once said, so it might come as a surprise to learn that Raitt did not compose it. 57: Bonnie Raitt: Angel from Montgomery (John Prine) What if post-army Elvis had stuck to covering songsworthy of his talents? For five minutes, we had the answer. First, The CoastersвЂ™ rollicking вЂњDown In The AlleyвЂќ, and then this Bob Dylan cover, performed with great tenderness. Just when nobody was looking, Elvissnuck two triumphs on the otherwise forgettable soundtrack album for the 1966 film Spinout. 58: Elvis Presley: Tomorrow Is A Long Time (Bob Dylan) (Parton had kind words for Jack White in a 2016 interview with The Guardian.) ItвЂ™s one of the most вЂњrockвЂќ cover versions youвЂ™ll hear, of course, but for those looking for other types of takes on the song, you could check out Cake, Ray LaMontagne, Strawberry Switchblade, Olivia Newton-John, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Lingua Ignota, and many more. There have been numerous covers of Dolly PartonвЂ™s вЂњJoleneвЂќ over the years, but few have been singled out for praise by Parton herself. 59: The White Stripes: Jolene (Dolly Parton) It remains far and away the musical highlight of the splashy We Are The World benefit album. You could make an extensive box set out of Bruce SpringsteenвЂ™s live cover songs, but this Jimmy Cliff cover was special, The Boss turning it into an arena anthem without losing the desperation.
