Clams casino’s version of Imogen heaps “I’m god” is great. It got tied up in legal limbo for a really long time.

Don't know about creative. Sometimes a minor change makes a big difference.
- Sturgill Simpson's version of In Bloom is pretty cool.
- The Once's cover of Can't help falling in love has a great build-up that deserves to be heard.
I can't find my other favs right now
The Heimatdamisch: Sweet Child o' Mine (Guns n' Roses)

Pretty much anything by Leo https://youtube.com/@leolego
Imho, Leo is so overrated. All he does is change the instruments used to play the song, and everything else remains the same, including his voice, tempo, lyrics, style, etc.
Now this guy here, is actually impressive, and delivers the cover in different styles.
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes cover of All My Loving
Or this revision of Pioneer to the Falls by Interpol, made by the band’s former bassist Carlos Dengler
`````Perpetuum Jazzile's Acapella cover of Toto's` Africa' is pretty neat. It's with it for the simulated rain sound at the start alone (and the beatboxing):
Thanks. I never heard of this band before. Their cover of Ashes To Ashes sent me down a rabbit hole.
Always happy to spread some Northern Kings!
Oh I absolutely love covers. My favorite weird cover is probably Tiny Tim's cover of The Doors song People Are Strange https://youtu.be/kzoH88GFqK0
I'm sorry, why has nobody mentioned the Jeff Buckley cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah yet? Bunch of heathens 🙂
The Persuasions - Anyway the Wind Blows by Frank Zappa
Kind of a pretty straight cover, but I think by stripping it down to just melody and vocals shows just how good and faithful to the genre the original was.
The whole Persuasions album of Zappa songs is terrific. Definitely recommend.
Nirvana - Love Buzz
It's kind of amazing that they're the same song, but when you listen to the original, you can hear what Kurt was picking up on. Two totally different songs but ... not.
I'm currently re-ripping my entire CD collection, and when I came to Revelations by Fields of the Nephilim, I realized that one of the tracks is their cover of "In the Year 2525" 🤣 It's not even that bad, either!
I just started the rip of Dimmu Borgir's Enthrone Darkness Triumphant... And the next disk in the stack is Hanson. Yes, that Hanson. I'm not entirely sure if the correct term for my taste is "eclectic" or "insane" 😅
That's a good reason to alphabetize by artist (chronological by release).
