    Thumbs up INCA ROADS: DZ > FZ

    Very rarely is FZ surpassed, but I suppose DZ had the benefit of time and added arrangements. Plus, having Eddie Van Halen as your music teacher growing up certainly does not suck. DZ's guitar solo builds and flows expertly, and this keyboard solo departs from the George Duke original and absolutely sings. Napolean Murphy Brock in both performances, decades apart but the same madcap energy:

    Inca Roads by Dweezil Zappa (cover)




    Inca Roads by Frank Zappa (original)

    They actually made it more reggae than Bob's original.

    I think this would qualify as a Brubeck cover


    And while I’m not saying this is better than Roy and Dale, it is a cover


    QSM - best cover band of all time

    The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald

    Love the original, but would rather watch/listen to the cover:

    The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald by NRBQ (cover)

    The articulation of the way they put it gutted me in my own crucible of music, made a highwater mark on a few pools.

    Stumbled across this and felt you needed to see it...it's not better. To me.




    For scale and scope.

    In the same vein, maybe not better for you hardcore LZ fans, but worthy:

    Perhaps not exactly a cover since it is members of the band but I love the stripped down version of this song.
