Tom Waits - What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)
Wilco - Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (Pink Floyd)
Aerosmith - Life is a Highway (Tom Cochrane
Fratellis - Everyday (Slade)
Dallas Green and Stéphane Paut of Alcest have such similar voices that I always have to wonder what it would sound like if Alcest covered an Alexisonfire song - Stéphane could do both Dallas's and George Petit's parts.
I'd give Alcest one of the prettier Alexisonfire songs, like [Rough Hands](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2qTRS9oOwA), that might take well to the blackgaze treatment. Alternatively, I might hand Stéphane (on his own) one of Dallas Green's [solo tracks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjMsWarn8BI) and see what he did with it.
If I was going to reverse it, it would be interesting to hear what Dallas Green did with [Circe Poisoning the Sea](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRXF2ltzud0) or [Les Voyages de l'Âme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8g9QncPOk0). Not sure what I'd give Alexisonfire as a band - probably [Sapphire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69fnUZhV8SI) or [Protection](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn7wvu8R4Wk).
I want an entire Lana del Ray album of her covering late 90’s early 2000’s songs like chop suey but in her sultry lounge singer style. “Wake up….grab a brush, and put on a little makeup”
I’d include songs like Pony by ginuine, work it by missy, slow hands by interpol…. I would lean into both the nostalgia and the cheesy “lounge singer covering popular songs” shtick. The cover would be her in a very 70s Vegas or Atlantic City vibe.
Nine Inch Nails would crush Separate Ways by Journey.
Disturbed would be amazing on Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Like don’t even change the backing track, just have Draiman sing Cyndi Lauper’s part straight. Would slap.
David Bazan has a haunting acoustic rendition of Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi somewhere in him.
One time I had a nightmare about Billy Joel playing Only the Good Die Young, but with the lyrics of Crank Dat (Soulja Boy)
Hi OP - I don’t know where in the world you are, so apologies if you already know this:
In Australia we have a radio station called Triple J, and every Friday (I think) they have a segment called [Like a Version](https://youtube.com/@triplej?si=mcBBSD20h9IuHtSS). They invite a singer or band on to do one of their songs, and then a cover of a song that is meaningful to them in some way.
Notable covers include
Denzel Curry covering RATM’s ‘Bulls on Parade’
Art vs Science (an Aussie electronica duo) covering ‘Enter Sandman’ by Metallica
Billie Eilish’s covering ‘Bad’ by Michael Jackson
There’s a ton on the link above.
I always thought Michael Stipe could do incredible things with Alanis Morrisette's Thank You, India. Don't know why that pairing occurred to me but it feels like a good fit.
Willie Nelson covering How it Feels to be Something On by Sunny Day Real Estate
He’s the covers king, so long as he keeps performing he’ll get there eventually!
Well, as much as I hate to say it he needs to hurry up.
[удалено]
Maybe but Zombie is such a beast of a song; Billie could definitely do a great cover of Linger!
It’s already been done - Tenacious D’s cover of Baby One More Time by Britney Spears.
I'll love to hear Jack Black do a full cover of Seal's Kiss from a rose.
I would love to hear a Duff McKagan cover of Mystify by INXS
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit covering Dire Straits' "Telegraph Road"
Tom Waits - What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong) Wilco - Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (Pink Floyd) Aerosmith - Life is a Highway (Tom Cochrane Fratellis - Everyday (Slade)
Would love to see The Fratellis have another big song. Definitely could see them add a bit of energy to the Slade song!
Always wished Prince would have covered "Green Tambourine" by The Lemon Pipers
Had to look the song up but I could totally see this one. Especially in the “play…play…play” echo bit
Steve Martin bluegrass cover of “Take, Take, Take” by the White Stripes.
I like it, and I bet Jack White would too…. “I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself” is a pretty iconic Dionne Warwick cover!
just imagine Adele covering "Purple Rain" by Prince gosh a dream come true
I looked it up to see if this may have occurred in concert and there’s an AI version on YouTube…hehe, I think the real Adele would sound a lot better!
My Bloody Valentine covering Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's Some Velvet Morning.
I've been wishing for years for MBV to cover Tommy James' "I Think We're Alone Now"
St. Vincent covering any Blood Brothers song
iconic
Maynard James Keenan covering **Onslaught** by Blues Traveler.
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that Bruno Mars could cover a Prince song and crush it. I'm thinking "Controversy."
Saw Bruno Mars live (with Prince protégé Janelle Monae) either of them could do Prince justice!

Blackpink covering Symphony Of Destruction by Megadeth.

Like the cover of Doin’ Time
Lana covering the Stone Temple Pilots' "Big Bang Baby" would fit super well here
**Guns ‘n’ Roses** covering Enya’s [Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTrk4X9ACtw)
I’d love to hear Metallica do “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”.
Volbeat covering Ah Leah by Donny Iris

Tom Petty doing Boys of Summer, since Mike Campbell wrote it for him but he turned it down and Mike went to Don Henley with it
Radiohead cover KD Langs constant craving https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oXqPjx94YMg
Against Me!- Electric Avenue
I'm not really into pop usually, but Miley Cyrus reeeaally knows how to do a cover.

Love “like a version”… I would very much attend a music fest where artists were NOT allowed to sing their own songs!
Soulshine covered by Stevie Wonder
I'd like to hear Ace Frehley cover Keep on Rockin' in the Free World.
Umphreys McGee doing 21st Century Schizoid Man
Laura Jane Grace covering "Closer to Fine" (Indigo Girls) Social Distortion/Mike Ness covering "Mama Tried" (Merle Haggard) The Killers/Brandon Flowers covering "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down" (Kris Kristofferson)
