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

    Jack Johnson covered Badfish by sublime for a tribute album. I’m not really familiar with his music, but damn his version is better than the original to me.

    And iron and wine’s cover of waiting on a Superman by the flaming lips. It’s a heartbreaking song in his whisper-singing.

    For a different feel, Tool’s cover of No Quarter.

      Liking Jack Johnson’s version more than the classic sure makes me feel a certain way, but right on.

      Same with Waiting for Superman, but I’ve always liked Iron and Wine’s originals more than his covers

      One dance cover of the Flaming Lips that i really like probably more than the original is Utah Saints’s version of Feeling Yourself Disintegrate. (But it is so good by being in opposition to the original – it wouldn’t be good if it was the only version). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LMsz3klt6s
