NIN's Hurt as done by the Man in Black
Stevie Ray does a classic Stevie wonder tune. Might be better than the original.

Pachelbel's Canon in D is one of my favorite classical pieces and I've heard it done in all genres, but I think this version by the metal group Coldwind is pretty good.
Kid Rock "All summer long". Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama and Zevon's Werewolves of London
I keep hearing Fist her in the sun, instead of blister in the sun.
Steven N Seagulls version of Iron Maiden's epic The Trooper
Fleetwood Mac's Landslide covered by the Dixie Chicks.
Neil Diamond's Red Red Wine covered by UB40.

You Keep Me Hangin On, not sure about different genres, but definitely varied styles . Covered by The Supremes, Vanilla Fudge and Kim Wilde.
I found this version of Ray playing Crystal Ship on piano simply jaw-dropping-beautiful

This version of this song by this three man English band. Slightly more aggressive than Bobby Johnsons original.
Hands down ...Muskrat Love. While originally written and recorded by some guy named Ramsey and later covered by some band named "America", there's nothing more "emotionally inspiring" than Captain 'N Teniile's version
I'm afraid to even ask where you found that cover clip. It's actually quite good while concurrently disturbing.
Really cool fusion of two classic songs. I've always loved this tune. Or could it be the girls in the vid....?
Have you ever seen/heard Trans Siberian Orchestra perform their version of Canon in D? I'd link it but am on my phone. I've seen them several times during the Christmas season. You, I think, would really dig them.
"PUDDLES PITY PARTY"I'm afraid to even ask where you found that cover clip. It's actually quite good while concurrently disturbing.
The guy is not only a bald clown, but he is 6'8". He's done a lot of covers.
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but the guy is really talented. I just finished watching most of his YouTube videos. It's worth the 7:00 watch.
No one can ever accuse the BWI board of not being "mind expanding"
