Good call


Those two BBC Sessions albums have some excellent covers on them.

Yeah, I think I'll just answer the OP's question with "Me First and the Gimme Gimmes' entire discography."

Agree

They took a song that was literally unlistenable to being halfway decent.

IDk if you would count them but pretty much all of sublime. They are considered ska, right? and have done a shite load of covers.

So like 54-46 was done by bad religion, a punk rock band, But im not sure if you would count sublime as being in a diff genre than some of the artists they cover.

54-46 Was My Number was by Toots & the Maytals

We're Only Gonna Die was the Bad Religion song they covered.

While I understand some people like some artists takes of Beatle songs, I always thought nobody could actually do them justice, properly

Totally agree…you can add Twist and Shout, Please Mr. Postman and Money to the list of Beatles covers that were much better than the original’s.
