This old gem came to mind. Has it really been 10 years? That’s so crazy.

Anyway, I love the creativity and the fun. They really put some effort in to this cover.

No list of covers is complete without at least one reference to Puddles, but I won't give the usual reference, at least not for now.

Stairway To Gilligan's Island - Puddles Pity Party.

This is a cover, of a mashup.
Even though the management for Led Zeppelin threatened the sue over the original mashup, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin has later referred to the song as his favorite cover of Stairway to Heaven. So the 'suits' may have been made, but the actual artists loved it.

I can't believe I never saw this thread back in the day. Or at least didn't post to it. The absolute best cover of all times, in terms of changing the whole sound while keeping the theme is Devo covering Satisfaction.

How about 'Because of the eleven posts since mine and before yours' by 'Ann Answer'.


I really love this live performance of Haim covering Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well'!

I ABSOLUTELY adore BOTH of your replies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
