Disturbed - Sound of Silence  
pjcas18 : 12/2/2017 9:16 pm : link
I like the album version (they released it as a cover), but I like this live version from Conan the best.

the drums on this one along with his emotion are incredible.

Disturb's version definitely at the top of the list and blows Simon and Garfunkle's original version out of the water.

Also, Joan Jett in "Crimson and Clover" - big step up from Tommy James and the Shondells. Dittos with Billy Idol who did Tommy James and the Shondells "Mony Mony".

really nail down "You Don't Own Me". I loved Leslie Gore (may she rest in peace), but the sound quality of 2016 compared to late 50's / early 60's when Leslie Gore made the song famous gives Grace an unfair huge advantage

First heard this on “The Leftovers” and fell in love with the arrangement. Didn’t even realize it was the song from Grease until I listened to the lyrics.

Sturgill's cover of "The Promise" is next level genius.

Nirvana "Man Who Sold The World" is also classic.
Another great one

the Hold Steady has a really good version of it too.

Joe Cocker's Don't Let Me be Misunderstood - linked below.

And then I just plain dig Alien Ant Farm's version of Smooth Criminal. More an homage than a cover.

The Get up Kids  
pjcas18 : 12/3/2017 10:33 am : link
covering Motley Crue - On With the Show (linked below). Original is still the best, and possibly best Motley Crue song, but cover by Get Up Kids is good.

they also have a really good cover of the Cure Close to Me.

very underrated band (The Get up Kids; though I think the Cure cover was satire b/c it was a very melancholy song when the Cure did it (like almost all their songs), not so much in the cover )

this one was interesting as are many on that Motorhead cover album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J06yQb4lbPk


or we could get funny and add William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy covers.

Hard to pick a favorite but as far as recent/new stuff

Damn!
I thought I'd go beyond the obvious pop stuff and you beat me to it!
OK, I'll submit Eva's version of "Sound of Silence".
I hope your comments encourage music affectionados to seek out Eva's accomplishments (and history) and how she incentivised more recent female singers to look beyond standard arrangements.

Yep. She does my favorite rendition of Autumn Leaves as well. Truly beautiful.

Because Eric Burdon is damned awesome and just owns this song, plus he's backed splendidly by Otis Redding's band, the Bar-Kays.

by Linda Ronstadt, written by Jackson Browne. I love Jackson Browne - probably my favorite songwriter. Linda Ronstadt sings Rock Me on the Water like an angel. She was really something else.
