Following on from the Johnny Cash thread, what cover versions blow you away?

'The first time ever I saw your face'....George Michael (although I hate to admit this but it's a flawless version)

'Walk on by'....Isaac Hayes

'How can you mend a broken heart?'....Al Green

'Never can say goodbye'....Isaac Hayes

Ive no idea who its by but some reasonably modern band covered a Beatles track at the start of Cruel Intentions (the scene was in a passenger jet).

Music is not my specialist subject.......

Alter Bridge - Hallelujah

You Me At 6 - Umbrella

Nightwish - Over The Hills

Nightwish - Phantom Of The Opera

Nightwish - Walking In The Air

To name a few. Prob not everyones cup of tea but check out Sonata's cover of Bette Middler, you can't deny Tony has a good voice. (You should hear him doing My Heart Will Go On on kareoke whilst pissed. Outstanding)

Like A Hurricane by Jeff Healy is a brilliant cover of the Neil Young tune, made better by the fact its live and Jeff was blind.
