As someone who grew up on and still loves Deep Forest, I'm incredibly surprised that they've never covered Toto's Africa. Seems like it would have been a perfect fit to me |

There are countless covers of this Bill Withers classic. This version I recently heard for the first time is quite good.

I remember, when I first heard the Eurythmics, thinking their sound might have been influenced by this 1975 John Cale cover of Heartbreak Hotel:

Really digging that Def Leppard take on a Depeche Mode classic. Interesting fact about Def Leppard front man Joe Elliot is actually in a cover band called the Down 'n' Outz who mostly cover Mott the Hoople / Ian Hunter songs.

Interesting. I'm a huge Mott/Hunter fan and I knew that Hunter and Elliot were friends but never heard about the cover band until now.
In addition to their well known cover of Bowie's All the Young Dudes - or does that count since Bowie gave them the song before he recorded it himself? - Mott the Hoople did a really nice cover of Sweet Jane:

Accidentally came across this Pink Floyd cover and was blown away by the quality.

Really digging the recent Weezer album which is all covers and most of them are quite good. Someone had posted a song from it earlier in the thread. I'm particularly fond of their versions of "Billie Jean" and "Paranoid". Here's the complete track listing for anyone intersted.
- "Africa" originally by Toto
- "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" originally by Tears for Fears
- "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" originally by Eurythmics
- "Take On Me" originally by A-ha
- "Happy Together" originally by The Turtles
- "Paranoid" originally by Black Sabbath
- "Mr. Blue Sky" originally by Electric Light Orchestra
- "No Scrubs" originally by TLC
- "Billie Jean" originally by Michael Jackson
- "Stand by Me" originally by Ben E. King

"Back on the Chain Gang" by Morrissey. I love the original but Mozza's cover is terrific in its own right. For my money, a perfect fit. |
