One of my favorite mix-tape topics. Not songs that were originally GP, but songs from other genres that got the GP treatment.
A few of my top picks:
Zeke - Rhiannon (by Fleetwood Mac)
Minor Threat - Stepping Stone (Monkees)
The Crosstops - Six Days On The Road (Dave Dudley)

Permalink Reply by John Battles on June 11, 2012 at 2:56pm The Dolls' seldom heard killer verson of Eddie Cochran's "Somethin' Else" (Tho' Eddie is plenty Punk with me) . There's a version on a bootleg that's better than the one on "Red Patent Leather" (A glorified bootleg , anyway.) . Better 'n Sid , but , arguably not as good as Slade's medley , that and "Pistol Packin' Mama" , BASED , OF COURSE , ON THE GROOVIES, whose version I like , BUT SLADES' VERSion destroys everything in it's path.

Permalink Reply by Audio Gasoline on June 11, 2012 at 3:34pm Nice choices - I'll have to look up that Renegades track (I love Bill Haley).
I had one more:
Nashville Pussy - First I Look At The Purse by The Contours.

Permalink Reply by Ricky Thomson on June 11, 2012 at 5:17pm I've always liked the cover's album "Garage Punk" by "The Vibrators". Some really cool stuff on there, won't list any track's, i think they're all great.
Here's a link to the album on spotify for those of you who use it: http://open.spotify.com/album/6kbdVPNYclNXmoydIh0V8I
