Another many may not know was a cover and especially who did the original would be "Love Hurts" originally done by Roy Orbison and improved by Nazareth.  I like Orbison a lot but in this case a band that was just okay overall did a better version.

That was the Everly Brothers my man....Not Roy Orbison.

I like Grahm Parsons' version of that song the best myself.

I agree with you about Breadfan. I like Metallica's version of Stone Cold Crazy better than Queen's as well.
