So far I only know the originals of Jolene, Coma White and maybe Pretty Vacant (it sounded kind of familiar)

Heart - Stairway to Heaven (Live at Kennedy Center Honors)
I had to find an alternative link because the one submitted was blocked.
Heart channels a lot of Led Zeppelin in their version of Stairway. One the one hand, it can come across as a bit too imitative, but on the other hand, their sound has been described as “female Led Zeppelin”, so being true to themselves should result in something reminiscent of the original.
As a live performance from an event honoring Led Zeppelin, this shouldn’t stray too far from the original and the Wilson’s don’t, but the chorus and strings are a welcome addition.

I quite like this! Had never heard the original either, so checked that out, which I also really enjoyed.

haha, I wavered from my initial choice in this category and almost submitted this. Seems I made the right decision sticking with my original thought. Still alive.
It is probably the GOAT Stairway cover, though.

Did I? Ah, you’re right. OK, we will do that one next.
unless stairway is 7th and you mislabeled
No, I definitely skipped one. Someone who thought they were still alive will be disappointed.
I am holding Pauwl personally responsible if I get revealed in 7th.
it’s probably me, lol
Covers always one of my fave categories

Fun(?) fact: I worked at the Kennedy center for a short while when I lived in DC. Did not get to interact with anyone as high profile as the president of the United States.
It’s apparently a game for revealers to guess which one is yours. I can say that I have a strong opinion on whether or not your song is the one I skipped.

I’m not sure how to interpret that, heh
Does anyone not in the US have the first Heart link blocked?
It’s not meant to be helpful.

Chelsea Wolfe - The Night of the Vampire, originally by Rory Erickson
A cover of a song by someone I am not familiar with, performed by someone I am not familiar with. It took a few listens to get a handle on how I feel about this song and I think I like it. I am definitely going to listen to it more after this.
