Posted by TheYoungBlood... just echoing it to this thread. The highlighted ones are the covers I find very interesting.

There's lots out there but I don't think I need to mention the common ones. Here's a few that I find really... "surprising".

Elbow - "Independent Women (Beyonce)
Gnarls Barkley - "Reckoner" (Radiohead)
Hanaregumi - "Blackbird" (The Beatles")

Rumer - "Goodbye Girl" (Bread) <- Special mention since this one is ALMOST better than the original.

Wake Up by John Legend & The Roots (Arcade Fire)

Another surprising cover by Maroon 5 would be their version of "Pure Imagination", the song from the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie.

I liked it!

Weezer is generally a fun-sounding band. It's quite interesting that they covered Radiohead's "Android Paranoid" esp. without making any changes to the original. They also did "Creep" before, but that wasn't as surprising. I mean, who else hasn't covered Creep?

Sweet Apes' Decode (Paramore cover)

I'm really proud she's half-Filipina, the vox.

Even the "Viva La Vida" cover by them is unchanged as well. I guess they know what the exact instruments they use before covering a song. They even performed this live and it's the exact musicality except for Rivers' voice. They have the CD version of it too. Just noticed that even Rivers imitate Thom's range in that song, I meant of "Paranoid Android". LOL. Gayang-gaya. If you heard "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn)", Rivers imitated several voices for the likes of Green Day, Nirvana, and more. Amazing.
