Need some good covers for my radio show tonight.

I'd like some good ones please, not obscure songs by obscure bands, they have to be songs/artists/bands people know so even if its amazing I won't be allowed to play it.

Will play any and all decent suggestions.

Number one will obviously be All Along the Watchtower
 
Twilight Guardians - La isla bonita
Placebo - Running up that hill
The Used & My Chemical Romance - under pressure
Seether - Careless whisper
Novaspace - beds are burning
Helloween - Hocus Pocus
Alestorm - Wolves of the sea
A.D.A.M Feat Amy - Zombie
Within Temptation - Running up that hill
Nightwish - Over the hills and far away
Tori Amos - Enjoy the silence

Amongst many others .. coversproject.com can be handy sometimes.
 
This. One of the best covers I know, you must listen to it all.


Or for something male-fronted. The Who said that this cover of theirs was so good, it's how they wanted their original to sound.

 
Some good ones off the top of my head:

Johnny Cash - Hurt
Biffy Clyro - When We Collide
The Birds - Mr Tambourine Man
Happy Mondays - Step On
The Clash - I Fought the Law
Ryan Adams - Wonderwall
Nina Simone - Mr Bojangles
 
White Lies - Love Lockdown
Kasabian - The sweet escape
The Dead Weather - are friends electric
Oasis - I am the walrus
 

China Drum - Wuthering Heights (pure dead brilliant)


30 Seconds To Mars - Stronger (infinitely better than Kanye West)

There's loads but one that few people seem to know is even a cover: Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U.
