Robert Plant tearing up while watching Heart perform "Stairway to Heaven" is one of my fave moments in music

[feliciajenkins]

I love when the cover gives the original artist chills. Then the artist performs with you OMG 🎤💞🎤.

I love how Ozzy picked the kid up and carried him on stage like he used to do with Randy Rhodes.

[AquaBlue]

You're missing Adam Lambert's cover of Cher's 'Believe' at the 2018 Kennedy Center honors. Truly magnificent.

[brunotorres]

The clip where Steven Tyler sings with a street performer always comes to mind

[JennA-uflo]

I would also add Adam Lambert’s cover of Cher’s “Believe” at the Kennedy Center Honors.

That karma chameleon was actually fantastic

[bbygrl]

Ann Wilson, and Heart, could cover ANYTHING.
She is unreal.

[nicolas.grisanti]

Ozzy picking up the kid, like he did with Randy Rhoads...😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[jules-yirn]

Chris Cornell's rendition of "Nothing Compares 2U" still gives me chills....I always wondered what Prince or Sinead O'Connor thought about his take on it. Just beautiful.

This list really made me smile. As a musician, I've covered songs by people I admire, and I've gotten some really nice compliments from those artists. It feels so good to know that I actually made them feel good by covering their songs, and that, in their eyes, I did their songs justice. It makes me feel like I'm doing my job right when I make other people, including other artists, smile with my singing.

Both Whitney Houston's and John Doe's rendition of Dolly Parton's
"I Will Always Love You"
are both BRILLIANT .
(Whitney sang her ass off)

[mariaghiglieri]

I would add Sound of Silence by Disturbed and Paul Simon’s reaction to it.

[cameronzero]

My brother punched me awake in the middle of the night to watch the world premiere of the music video for the Johnny Cash cover of Hurt...

I cried

[latonyajefferson]

My top 3 is as follows: 1) Disturbed covers S&G "The Sound of Silence". 2) Johnny Cash covers NIN "Hurt" 3) Whitney Houston covers DP "I Will Always Love You".

[brandonnewby]

#1: "That note. You know the one." *Remembers his brother's still sleeping and Immediately hits volume down 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[alsdaman]

That was not a picture of D.O.C. that was Method Man from the Wu Tang Clan😂

[MrCervasio]

Paul Simon said after hearing Elvis singing one of his best songs bridge over troubled waters that "no one else should ever sing that song again" kinda shoulda made the list

[partofthetribe]

Bought that NIN cd because of that song and used to blare it until the first I heard the end of the cd version when they strum every string with as much reverb as possible. Scared the shit out of me.
