I always liked Wayne's take on Musiq's You & Me

 

[Radeo]

Didn't think I could like a RATM cover but this fucks

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

One of my favourites of all time.

The Slits cover of I Heard It Through The Grapevine is genius.

This is one of my favorites ever.

Tom Waits also has a great cover of "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" and an expansion of "Judy Is a Punk," but this is my personal favorite.

Yep



This is pretty iconic, but I like the original better.





Better than the original

Sun Kil Moon has an amazing album of Modest Mouse covers:

Here's a few by a criminally underrated/unknown Canadian band, the smalls.

Nailed it on the first post.

I like the way this cover in a humorous manner aggressively owns the narrative. The miming of puppetry after the lyric of "I want you to notice when I'm not around" is a delight.

Theme from "Cheers".

I like their Land of Confusion cover too. The video is by Todd McFarlane iirc.

I love Brie's cover, but don't sleep on Metric's original.

 

[Carn]

Great cover / interpretation of The Prodigy's Firestarter.

 

[Xythantiops]

Hot Dad has some great synth covers.

 

[grang]

Sara Bareilles covering Sia's Chandelier. She's got an amazing voice, I'd never heard anything other than her couple radio hits and had no idea she could sing like this. (if the timestamp doesn't work, skip to 1:35 or so)

 

[nightstalker962]

I'm a huge fan of Whitfield Cranes voice and Ugly Kid Joe in general.

 

[Belvedere]

I like this cover of Forever Young



I also like Pearl Jam's cover of Won't Back Down



And, of course, Goldfinger's cover of 99 Red Balloons

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Darkness, Darkness cover by Robert Plant



Pearl Thompson's guitar work is beautiful, as always.

Is it possible to feel contact stoned by a song?

Ninja Sex Party (featuring Tupper Ware Remix Party) did a pretty great cover of Everybody Wants to Rule the World, originally by Tears for Fears.

A Perfect Circle - Ashes to Ashes (original by David Bowie)

 

[Nameless]

One of my favorite vocalists covering one of my favorite vocalists.

 

[kittens]

This video features two songs, the first is a Frida cover and the second is a Roberta Flack cover. Both are amazing.
