The Originals COVER MUSIC
The Originals cover Many of the Beatles classics:
The Beatles were amazing for many reasons. For one thing, at the time The Beatles were performing, most record companies employed song writers to provide songs for the talent. The Beatles did covers, but insisted on performing their own original compositions as well. This was very unusual at the time. Furthermore, they could come up with enough material to make an entire album 4-5 times a year, with as few covers as possible. Other innovations they had were using orchestra instruments for songs.
The Originals cover many Beatles tunes including: One after 909, I Feel Fine, You Cant Do That, Saw Her Standing there & Something...
The Originals cover a select few of The Eagles amazing hits.
The Eagles formed in 1971 in California, Don Henley and Glenn Frey meet as members of Linda Ronstadt's band. They realize they have a mutual goal - the formation of their own band - which becomes a reality when teamed with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner by Ronstadt's manager, John Boylan, as a projected backup band. Instead, the Eagles are formed. Signed by Asylum Records, the Eagles travel to London to record with producer Glyn Johns. Their debut album is released in 1972 titled Eagles. The first single "Take It Easy" earned them instant national recognition. Another single, "Witchy Woman" hits #9 on the charts and the Eagles tour through the end of the year.

The Hollies: Manchester's answer to the Beatles, a hard working band with amazing hits.
The Hollies are an English rock group known for their pioneering and distinctive three part vocal harmony style. The Hollies became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s (231 weeks on the UK singles charts during the 1960s; the 9th highest of any artist of the decade) and into the mid 1970s. Formed by Allan Clarke and Graham Nash in late 1962 as a Merseybeat type music group in Manchester, although some of the band members came from towns further north. Graham Nash left the group in 1968.
