Default Come Together
Who wrote the song Come Together?

Was it the Beatles? Or someone before them?

Must be one of the most covered songs ever

Keep On Rockin'

Yup - definitely a Beatles song. I heard it again yesterday while up on a ladder painting a ceiling. I hadn't listened to it for a long time and my daughter put it on. I'd forgotten how they used to do stuff like that - such as make inside jokes about each other in their music.

I gotta say that I'm not a fan of the original (boo hiss, i know ) or even just the song itself, but I've heard some pretty good covers of it. My faves are the ones done by Aerosmith and (of all people) Michael Jackson.

It's a brilliant tune and it's pretty easy to cover it and kick ass by simply turning your guitars up and hammering out the 3 chords in the chorus.

How many covers are there of Knockin' On Heaven's Door? I know of four- GnR, Clapton, Dunblane and Avril

Keep ON Rockin'
