Your vote for greatest (covers) album


Mine is Annie Lennox "Nostalgia". Not only is she one of the greatest female voices ever, she knows how to make a song her own.

"Caroline Now!" - The Songs of Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys

"Looking Into You" - A Tribute to Jackson Browne

The reverence that many of the participating artists have for the songs that they cover is palpable (YMMV). The Jackson Browne tribute was curated by overlooked and underrated singer/songwriter Jimmy LaFave (Austin, TX); and, Bob Ludwig does the mastering, so the sound quality is sterling.

The Clash: London Calling

Cover song
Cake: I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor song)
album cover: Osibisa Woyaya

best song: Y sharp, and the short electric guitar solo at at the end of that song, which starts at 4:35 minutes into the song, is still unmatched by any artist or any band still to date ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5-t8THAGx8)

Heavy Rock Radio ..... Jorn.

Probably never heard of Jorn Lande, a German metal vocalist.

But this album is well worth a listen just to hear a heavy metal cover of Kate Bush Running up that Hill!!
Chris Cornell - Billie Jean
Most any of Joe Cocker’s covers
The Zombies - Summertime
Dead Kennedys - Viva Las Vegas
Social Distortion - Ring of Fire
Already mentioned, but Joan Osbourne "How Sweet It Is" gets my vote. Her response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, she goes back to 70's music, looking for healing. So many great tracks that Joan just makes her own.
Jenny sings Lenny is indeed the greatest covers album of all time. Not even Holly Cole Temptation can touch it.
