To cover, or not to cover? (are songs on GH "covered")

**Qarx**

I was curious about something, and I guess it goes for Rock Band, too.

How many, which songs, are actually cover songs? I heard that Ballroom Blitz was a cover on GH: 80's, and I think the song "The Metal" is covered, too. Are there any other songs that aren't the original recodings/not done by the same band?

You guys don't understand. He talking about covers of covers. Like in 80's, Radar Love, was originally done by Golden Earing, but in 80s its done by white lion, which is a cover, and its a cover in 80s so its a cover of a cover. lol i hope that made sense.

I know for a fact that "You Really Got Me" was a cover of a Kinks song by Van Halen. I'm not so sure about anything else.

(/me hasn't played 80s. <_<)

Ah, thanks, guys!

Train Kept A Rollin' was covered for both GH AND RB? That's odd. I guess no one likes Tiny Bradshaw (whoever that was).
