Thought I'd start a thread (for shits&giggles and probably to enable monkeys to torment other monkeys...) on music covers.

Post a cover you love that most probably others won't have come across before.


I'll start with a guy I hung out with occasionally back in the 90's.

Fantastic cover. They play it at the beginning of every concert (recording) as the band is taking the stage.

Speaking of Ghost (and this is one of many reasons why they are a pop-band, not a metal band...just a satanic pop-band )

It's done well.

This guy is the king of covers.
