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)

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.

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.

Ramones' Acid Eaters album is a great one-stop thrill ride full of garage/punk covers (and a great gateway album for squares).

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

Toy Doll's "blue suede shoes"

Cheers.

The Francs cover of "Got No Mind" by the Flashcubes...

Oh wait, that's my band... sorry... (you can hear it on my page!!!)

OK, for real:

Blondie doing the Nerves's "Hanging on the Telephone"

"I looked for 20+ years for The Prisoners "Thee Last Fourfathers" and "A Taste Of Pink" LPs before finding them for...not TOO much $ on the ebays.  Now I'm just waiting for that copy of "Stormy Weather" by The…"
