Since the last time I posted in this thread, I came across a unique cover band called Gregorian. I figured I'd get bored with listening to their covers after half a dozen or so of them, but they still crack me up.

Here are a few example videos:

(the original material for this one is excellent, but it is still neat as they did it)

I actually prefer Sarah Brightman's version of "Who Wants to Live Forever." To me, she does more justice to this beautiful song than Freddie Mercury, much as I love him and Queen.

Anything by Ten Masked Men. They turn pop songs into something good. And I can't stand Joy Division, but Moonspell and The Cure each made an equally good cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart. My favorite cover is probably Cradle of Filth's version of No Time to Cry, but I can only find the crappy music video version on YouTube.

I'll at least post the Ministry one, particularly feeling that ATM.

My favorite cover song is Knocking on Heaven's Door done by Guns & Roses. Its way better than the original.

I like a lot of stuff from these guys more than the originals, but this is the first one that popped into my head:

And I didn't like this song before I heard this version:

I honestly think this girl (Drew) blows the original out of the water (not a fan of the original, but not a hater either) I just can't believe this girl was only 14 when she sang this. She's pretty amazing -- that goes for all of her songs on the show to date.. **Ignore the beginning of the video and give it a chance -- it's not all stalkerish**
