Madness generally do good covers that take the original and make it their own...almost half of their first album "One Step Beyond" including the title track was covers

There are some fabulous cover songs, one of my favourites is The Housemartins version of Caravan of Love, originally by The Isle Brothers.

Some other favourites include Marilyn Manson's version of Tainted Love, Metallica's cover of Whisky in the Jar, and With a Little Help From My friends done by Jo Cocker.

Jerry Lee Lewis did a fantastic cover of Sunday Morning Coming Down. Not the sort of performance you would normally associate with him.

It was originally by Kriss Kristofferson. Johnny Cash did a cover of it also but it wasn’t a patch on Jerry’s version.

Lots of love for Disturb covering sound of silence.

I prefer their version of land of confusion. Genesis.

Also, Heather Nova also did a great cover of Bruce Springsteen's I'm on fire.

Had to look up Godhead covering Eleanor Rigby, damn fine.

Gold Finger and Reel Big Fish do some great ones to, notably the 'up the Junction cover'

Oh and the Donna's, NoFx and Offspring do to lol

Marcia Griffith’s cover of The Beatles Don’t Let Me Down

Most versions of Walk On By, but especially Isaac Hayes or the Strang*rs.

Urge Overkill with Neil Diamond’s, Girl You’ll be a Women Soon

Matthew’s Southern Comfort’s version of Woodstock which for me is the best by far.

The most bonkers is David Bowie’s cover of A Windmill in Old Amsterdam which I only discovered the other day.

Going to add a complete album of covers, released late 80s to raise money for Childline it was...

Sgt. Pepper knew my father

the band list - The Three Wize Men, Wet Wet Wet, The Christans, The Wedding Present with A_elia Fletcher, Hue & Cry, Billy Bragg with Cara Tivey, Frank Sidebottom, Sonic Youth, Courtney Pine Quartet, Michelle Shocked, The Triffids, The Fall

Every artist/band did a wonderful interpretation, none distracting from the original
