Viagra Boys and Amy Taylor's cover of In Spite of Ourselves is an interesting take on the original by John Prine and Iris Dement.

UMC are doing metal cover versions of quite some songs, Captain Jack as an example.
Van Canto are an a capella band (with drums) doing also a lot of covers. Battery by Metallica
Clams casino’s version of Imogen heaps “I’m god” is great. It got tied up in legal limbo for a really long time.
Don't know about creative. Sometimes a minor change makes a big difference.
- Sturgill Simpson's version of In Bloom is pretty cool.
- The Once's cover of Can't help falling in love has a great build-up that deserves to be heard.
I can't find my other favs right now
The Heimatdamisch: Sweet Child o' Mine (Guns n' Roses)

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes cover of All My Loving
Or this revision of Pioneer to the Falls by Interpol, made by the band’s former bassist Carlos Dengler
Their version of Straight Up is genuinely one of the best things I've ever heard.
As for their cover of Goodbye Earl, the only criticism I have is that it's too damn short.
I love the Gimmes immensely, and am disappointed that I had to scroll down so far to find any mention of them. Their guitarist is in one of the world's biggest bands ffs!
The Persuasions - Anyway the Wind Blows by Frank Zappa
Kind of a pretty straight cover, but I think by stripping it down to just melody and vocals shows just how good and faithful to the genre the original was.
The whole Persuasions album of Zappa songs is terrific. Definitely recommend.
Nirvana - Love Buzz
It's kind of amazing that they're the same song, but when you listen to the original, you can hear what Kurt was picking up on. Two totally different songs but ... not.
Amber Mark's cover of Heart Shaped Box.
I'm a die hard nirvana fan. I think she took what Kurt wrote and made it totally her own and so, so beautiful.
I'm sorry, why has nobody mentioned the Jeff Buckley cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah yet? Bunch of heathens 🙂
I'm currently re-ripping my entire CD collection, and when I came to Revelations by Fields of the Nephilim, I realized that one of the tracks is their cover of "In the Year 2525" 🤣 It's not even that bad, either!
I just started the rip of Dimmu Borgir's Enthrone Darkness Triumphant... And the next disk in the stack is Hanson. Yes, that Hanson. I'm not entirely sure if the correct term for my taste is "eclectic" or "insane" 😅

Pretty much anything by Leo https://youtube.com/@leolego
Imho, Leo is so overrated. All he does is change the instruments used to play the song, and everything else remains the same, including his voice, tempo, lyrics, style, etc.
Now this guy here, is actually impressive, and delivers the cover in different styles.
the Gourd's cover of Gin and Juice by Snoop Dogg
(Apparently many people thought it was Phish who performed this cover, it was shared and torrented a lot as a Phish cover)
