Most covered Rock song of all time
Was just thinking of this while listening to the Dead playing All Along the Watchtower

What song do you think has been covered by more bands than any other?

My vote is for AATW

it's going to be an older song, a rock classic. Like Roll Over Beethoven, Stand By Me. Or maybe something like Suspicious Minds (the King baby)

Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

Yank, I heard a couple of years ago that Yesterday was in the Guinress Book of Record as the rock song with most different recordings, which if memory serves me, was over 2,000.

I'll see what I can did up on that but I was surprised that your source has Eleanor Rigby ahead of Yesterday although I like it even more.


EDIT: LOL, this list is from the same site, Yankee.
