That Bo Diddley Beat

Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley - 1955


Wow!

Don't Fade Away
Buddy Holly - 1957
Rolling Stones - 1964



1969 - Iggy & the Stooges - 1969



Who Do You Love? - George Thorogood - 1978
The video footage on this one is a little goofy but I like the update on George's version of the song. His entire career is basically a tribute to Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and John Lee Hooker.



Hateful - The Clash - 1979



I Want Candy - Bow Wow Wow - 1982



Desire - U2 - 1988



Screwdriver - The White Stripes - 1999


I'm sure I have dozens more in my own CD collection.
