Since I'm following our very own prog-father Jon Janego, I'll kick it off with a zebra song Take your Fingers From My Hair, being covered by Dream Theater.
Modern Love by The Last Town Chorus. Completely changes the vibe of the David Bowie original.
Johny Cash, the immortal one, doing U2's One.
Nothing Compares to you, Chris Cornell version. His golden voice doing a Prince song that was made famous by Sinead O'Connor.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers funkafied Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground.
Harvest Moon. A Neil Young song done by of Montreal front man Kevin Barnes. One of my favorite songs.
Gloria Jones' Tainted Love, redone 80s style by Soft Cell
Cold play isn't one of my favorites. I actually don't know anything they do. But this cover of the Beastie Boys' Fight for your Right to Party was done at the Hollywood Bowl, on 4 May 2012. That was the day MCA died. This song is all about emotion.
I fought the law, made famous by The Clash, is a Bobby Fuller four or The Crickets original.
No doubt this version of Talk Talk's Its my life, and completely own it now.
No quarter by Led Zeppelin and covered by one of my favorite bands, Tool.
Last but not least....and maybe we won't have time to hear it...Fugees with Killing me softly
