Really good cover songs

[Boyo Jim]

This is the best single musical performance I've seen on Youtube:

Blue Man Group covering The Who's Baba O"Riley. I think during the climax they have six drummers/percussionists going at once.

[Boyo Jim]

Heart did a couple of very nice covers. I won't even guess who the original artists are.

Tell It Like It Is

Rock & Roll (can't find it on Youtube)

[Yookeroo]

The Bird and the Bee - How Deep Is Your Love

[AnalogSignal]

The Music Machine's version of Hey Joe preceded Jimi's. The vocals on this slow version are devastating.

[Made in Macau]

Scott Matthews' beautiful version of Bob Marley's Is This Love might be the best cover I've heard. I can't think of a better one.

(nobody likes the Level 42 remake except for me, because apparently there's something wrong with black people doing a white people song instead of the other way around.

I like that Anthony David version as well.. and I loved the original.. I feel ya..

how about fitting your point Maxwell's excellent version of "This Women's work" by Kate Bush..

NSYNC is actually one of the most talented groups to unfortunately be labeled a 'boyband'.

Their tribute to the Bee Gees at the Grammys

Go here to check out my most favorite singer James Otto covering "Into The Mystic" from Van Morrison.
God bless you and James always!!!

Tom Waits - Heigh-Ho! (The Dwarfs Marching Song)

[Ponch8]

Here's a terrific cover of Harvey Danger's "Flagpole Sitta." It's made to sound like a 1960s bubble gum pop song.
