Not sure if there's a thread on this topic, but i have found some great covers on youtube and i think they deserve more attention.

Take a look at this one:

One of my favs, Etta James doing a cover of Take it the Limit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ0zdF0bRPM

The rendition on Live From San Francisco just kills 

[Blackmore]

Great video Scott.  Live at San Francisco is my favorite of all time and I think you and I blasted "Limit" late at night at my house many years ago. Killer suggestion and you beat me to it.   

[FullRangeMan]

This is one of my favorites covers:

A real artist.

I really like Alison Krauss' version of Steve Winwood's:

"Can't Find My Way Home"

It is available on the Crossing Jordan soundtrack CD.

Thanks for that "Wild Horses" by the Sundays, I'll have to check that out, such a great song.

Alvin & The Chipmunks  "Supercalifragalisticexpialdociius" from Mary Poppins 

[JerryM]

Not sure if it rates amongst the Most Amazing, but if you like the occasional Reggae, this is a great cover:

Easy Star All Stars - Dub Side of The Moon.  A *Main System* must.

From Wikipedia: Dub Side of the Moon has remained on the Billboard Reggae Charts since its release in 2003. Included with the liner notes are instructions on how to synchronize the album with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz and produce a variation of the perceived "Dark Side of the Rainbow" effect.


Great Topic! 

Have fun,

Jerry

Shawn Colvin has a whole album of covers entitled "Cover Girl".  My favorite cut is Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)".

[NIGHTFALL1970]

Yngwie Malmsteen covering Deep Purple's "Child in Time" from the album "Inspiration".

[JerryM]

Wow, the Yngwie card...  I'll counter with the Zappa card. 

Zappa covers Whipping Post.

[Mike Nomad]

Wow, some great selections I had never seen/heard before.

Something Old:

Sarah Blackwood, Jeni and Emily - Wrecking Ball   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHF0gsRsNBw

Something Blue:

While Kashmir is not one of my favorite Zeppelin songs, I love this cool take on it by the late, incredibly talented, Kevin Gilbert -

German prog/jazz-fusion/metal band, Panzerballett, does their take on the Simpsons theme.

Only when they do it, they do it in ridiculous time signatures!

Fun stuff....

Here they are on their 3rd CD, 'Hart Genossen - Von ABBA bis ZAPPA', doing a Zappa medley.
