creepy, pun intended.

great cover of Paul McCartney's "Let Me Roll It." If you've never heard the band--check them out. They're excellent.

Great covers

you need one of the newer tuners to get it...it's in the early 300's...called Covers or something like that

I just heard Dwight Yoakam sing "I want you to want me" in Bluegrass style and I didn't turn it off....

First aid kit

Teal Album from Weezer is absolutely amazing.

Weezer - The Teal Album
01. Africa (Toto)
02. Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Tears for Fears)
03. Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (The Eurythmics)
04. Take On Me (a-ha)
05. Happy Together (The Turtles)
06. Paranoid (Black Sabbath)
07. Mr. Blue Sky (Electric Light Orchestra)
08. No Scrubs (TLC)
09. Billie Jean (Michael Jackson)
10. Stand By Me (Ben E. King)

Their version of Take on me is incredible.

Carrie Manolakos' cover of Creep is haunting.

I heard it for the first time within the last 6 months. The Interrupters covering The 11th Hour by Rancid.

Tim Armstrong from Rancid produced their latest release. Good cover.

Aimee Allen (aka Aimee Interrupter) is one of the most talented artists who is not very well known. Good to see them have some success finally.

Their cover of Africa was lame, basically the same as the original and not as good.

These guys nail it...Mike Masse does a great job on other covers as well.

Is it a cover if it is by the original band? I like the slower version done by A-ha for Deadpool 2.

but Reel Big Fish does a good cover of Take On Me.

Also for a movie, one of the worse movies ever. BASEketball.

But Grinch by Small Town Titans is amazing. Lead singer has awesome range.

But I really liked Alien Ant Farm's cover of "Smooth Criminal"

by Disturbed is the best cover I've heard in a long while.

That acoustic version was fantastic.

made famous by the Social Network trailer

It is a great cover. But the live version they did on Conan in 2016 is much better than the recorded version they did IMO.

Nice one!

Phish actually does a great job covering that whole album from time to time.

Here's their version of New Age- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YmnDGv-b2k

"The Promise" (When in Rome) and "In Bloom" (Nirvana)

Was way late to the party on Chris Stapleton as I'm not a country music fan. Came across this shortly after Prince died and turned me on to his music. Best version of this song and probably my choice for best cover all time.
Chris Stapleton covering "Nothing Compares to You" - ( New Window )

Meghan Trainor's song is okay. Not my cup of tea. However, Postmodern Jukebox's cover makes it much more to my liking. Stripped down jazz version. Very cool IMHO.
All About the Bass - ( New Window )

"recent" as the last 20 years, just so I can fit some of these in:

Secret Chiefs 3 "Halloween Theme"

Fantômas "The Godfather Theme"

Lisa Loeb "All the Young Dudes"

Regina Spektor "No Surprises"

Scala & Kolacny Brothers "Exit Music (For a Film)"

by Lee from huddersfield.

Motley Crue's just released cover of Madonna's "Like a Virgin". Surprisingly decent rendition.

I'll have to check it out. Tim Armstrong is one of my favorite artists. The Interrupters music I've heard stands out against most other ska bands. Her singing is a big part of it.

Another good recent cover is
Against Me! covering "People Who Died." I never heard the original until I looked it up after hearing the cover. Good idea for a song.

Best version of SoS https://youtu.be/l0gX9679nZk

By Strokes / Eddie Vedder / Josh Homme. Elements of all their styles & bands in an originally fantastic song by Marvin Gaye, one of the greatest

Here is an old version (few years ago) that Grace Vanderwaal did before she became popular through America's Got Talent. I like it as it is just an innocent girl strumming her Uke with her dog on the front porch. All About The Bass

Easy Star Dub Allstars are fantastic. Truly amazing covers of classics that you'd normally say "dont touch that song!" but every song is fantastic. Very stoner but fantastic productions & adaptations nonetheless

Dub Side of the Moon - full Dark Side reggae'd out, OK Computer - Radiohead (Paranoid Andriod is amazing, linked below). Looking now they did some Beatles, Thriller.. there's a ton if you search their name on Youtube

Radiohead - Paranoid Andriod

Dub Side of the Moon Album - ( New Window )

Sorry, no "dub" in their name

haha wtf

thanks for the recommendations.

lots of good stuff to go through.

Anyway - here's one I like - not necessarily a great cover but mostly because I really like both the band and the song they covered.
Grouplove covering Beastie Boys Sabotage - ( New Window )

This was "fantastic". Seriously, well done.

but if you like Motley Crue covers (their songs covered by others), there was a period of time where a lot of newer pop/punk bands covered on with the show one of my favorites and an older Crue song

Get up kids did the best IMO. Ataris was good too, but Get up kids better.
