Anyone have some favorite covers of popular songs?

Looking for some covers of popular songs especially anything from the 80s or 90s that’s been redone today into a hard rock or metal version. Bonus if it’s a female vocalist

But I’m open to anything if the covers good or better than the original

      Not really sure if it is relevant to what you’re asking, but I think it’s so cool. https://youtu.be/NLnfFUZNkww?

              Their cover of “Lake of Fire” is also good (though the original is great on its own)

                  All 3 Meatpuppets covers are so good. I like how they had one or both? Of them on stage.

                    Unplugged in New York is my favorite album of theirs.

                  Placebo’s version of Running up that Hill is the definitive version. Fight me.

                      Agreed. I also like their cover of Where’s My Mind.

                        I used to agree. But I heard so little of the Kate Bush version, that when stranger things used it. I like her version better now

                        I wanna be like you (jungle book) by psychedelic porn crumpets. Give it a try, it’s good.

                          Bonus song: Manhattan Skyline by Ihsahn feat. Einar Solberg
                          It’s not harder than the original, but Ihsahn and Einar are some of the most influential metal musicians out there

                              Joe Jacksons cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh, Well” rocks! The Ramones cover of the old 1960’s Spiderman TV theme song was excellent! Nancy Griffith’s cover of “Tecumseh Valley” by Townes Van Zandt always leaves a lump in my throat.

                                Thunderstruck by Walk Off the Earth. Female vocalist, a wild twist on instuments that just seems to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RnGkIxhFGU

                                  I love Shinedown’s cover of Simple Man.

                                    Don Henley’s 1984 version is nice, but this early 00s power pop version hits so good.

                                        That’s actually sort of why I made this thread is because of that cover

                                            It is such a good song.

                                            In This Moment covered In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. It’s a slow burn, but it’s great!

                                              Jeff Buckley’s cover of Leonard Cohen/John Cale’s Hallelujah is the definitive version.
