And then there's Leo Moracchinoli, whose schtick is "metalfying" all manner of songs. Many pretty good, others maybe not so much. But all in good fun.

Eddie Shaver's guitar makes this version special

Leo does some good covers, particularily like the Sultans of Swing cover, https://youtu.be/x0RV0kgdqJU?si=4pCxLej22t0XUuD_

Sade covered the 1972 song "Why Can't We Live Together" by Timmy Thomas.

Pomplamoose doing a very capable cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams:

One of my favorite covers.

[/FLASH_VIDEO][/QUOTE] thanks for that, re pomplamoose, mashups count as a cover? [FLASH_VIDEO]

^^^ it also includes the flash codes so all you have to do is copy and paste to your post, no need to pasted in the film reel icon.

By no means “better,” but extremely effective:
The album “Enjoy Every Sandwich,” multiple artists covering Warren Zevon. Literally Al the tracks are magnificent. The most surprising and beautiful is Billy Bob Thornton, of all people, covering The Wind. Bruce Springsteen covers “My Ride’s Here” in a slower tempo that I personally feel fits the material better than the original. And Jordan Zevons “Studebaker” is heartbreaking.

The Dickies' version of the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin"

It's very close to being a tie with
Tommy James version,
But I give the edge to Tiffany

Speaking of Enjoy The Silence:

I’ve got both the Ry Cooder album that doublesharp posted a song from, and the Trinity Sessions album from Cowboy Junkies. Both great.

You could fill this thread with good Ry Cooder covers. I bought Paradise and Lunch when it first came out and have been a fan ever since.

Couple more from Ry





Linda Ronstadt covered so many good ones

if you are a Numan fan, you know the original


Poppy did a good cover

these guys, did a great job,

considering,
