Algunas bandas de rock han editado discos completos de covers.

Texto: Alvarrock García @Alvarrock_GM

Los covers son un recurso que ha sido utilizado constantemente por bandas de rock, ya sea para ganar fama, dinero o para mostrar cuáles son sus influencias y hacer un reconocimiento a esos grupos que han sido parte importante en su formación musical.

De igual forma han surgido los llamados “discos tributo”, en los cuales participan diversos grupos tocando una canción del artista al que se rendirá tributo; pero hay otra forma de hacer covers, la cual consiste en que un mismo grupo haga un disco completo de versiones.

En el presente artículo plasmaremos una lista con algunos de los casos más llamativos del rock; por cuestiones de espacio nos enfocaremos en grupos rock en inglés, dejando pendiente una segunda parte con grupos en español.
