Looking for some covers of popular songs especially anything from the 80s or 90s that’s been redone today into a hard rock or metal version. Bonus if it’s a female vocalist
But I’m open to anything if the covers good or better than the original
Hurt by Johnny Cash
Maphra
Tweeter and the Monkey Man - The Headstones
Jeff Buckley’s cover of Leonard Cohen/John Cale’s Hallelujah is the definitive version.
Joe Jacksons cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh, Well” rocks! The Ramones cover of the old 1960’s Spiderman TV theme song was excellent! Nancy Griffith’s cover of “Tecumseh Valley” by Townes Van Zandt always leaves a lump in my throat.
I wanna be like you (jungle book) by psychedelic porn crumpets. Give it a try, it’s good.
Thunderstruck by Walk Off the Earth. Female vocalist, a wild twist on instuments that just seems to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RnGkIxhFGU
Sultans of Swing (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli feat. Mary Spender)
Cover - check
Popular song - check
From 80s or 90s - check
Redone into metal - check
Female vocalist - check!Bonus song: Manhattan Skyline by Ihsahn feat. Einar Solberg
It’s not harder than the original, but Ihsahn and Einar are some of the most influential metal musicians out therePlease Don’t Touch by Motorhead/Girl School
Originally recorded in 1959 by Johnny Kid and the Pirates
I love Shinedown’s cover of Simple Man.
Joint State (South African rock band) covering Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode.
Nirvana version of “where did you sleep last night”
Their cover of “Lake of Fire” is also good (though the original is great on its own)
Unplugged in New York is my favorite album of theirs.
