    Pretty much all great covers are in a different genre.

    This is one of my favourite covers ever.



    Actually it's one of my favourite recordings ever, period.

    Love that cover. Had it in our wedding ceremony played by an old school friend and the singer in my band.

    This requires a little clarification.  Here we have a band covering Led Zeppelin in reggae style, but the vocalist is a former Elvis impersonator who can't let that go......I give you, Dread Zeppelin

    For any Pink Floyd and Radiohead fans who don't mind some messing with dub. Avoid Sgt. Pepper though.

    Yeah- The Pepper one was a definite disappointment. Dub Side Of The Moon is fantastic though. The intro to Money is worth the entrance fee alone.

    Some much better Reggie Beatles here

    just on my mobile and no idea how to post YouTube clips on it but Toots and the Maytalls Take Me Home Country Roads is a good companion piece to that.

    Liked the Peter Tosh thing and the The Easy All stars are pretty good at this too (Dub side of the moon, Radiodread) and I love this and "their thing" kicks in at 1:59
