Good-ass cover songs

First time I've ever heard of Phish being called progressive rock... :dunno

It's a cover of a long prog rock Genesis song. When I first saw it, I wondered why someone would cover Genesis, but it looks like their rock and roll hall of Fame induction.

No argument here, but he enunciates well. The words are much clearer than the original. That song was a mondegreen to me until I heard this one.
 
I do enjoy many covers because of that. I'm an old school bass head, and jacked my hearing somewhat a long time ago. It's almost humorous how little I can understand the lyrics of many original songs.

I've always thought this cover was pretty alright. it doesn't outshine the original, but I enjoyed how the lyrics were modified to reflect modern conflict, and the video addresses O'Riordan's suicide in a tasteful way.
 
Joan Osborne has some great covers

She also has an album of Dylan covers.
 
Two where the artist made the song theirs. Who knows/remembers these were covers?
