Modern Covers of Classics

I'm putting together a playlist of covers just because I'm a little bored of my current playlists. There are plenty of threads on this but I'm looking for more modern covers. Some examples I already have are:

Dancing in the Dark - Biz Colletti

Don't come around here no more - Rhianna Giddens

You Can't always get what you want  - Lainey Wilson

Cindy I'll marry you some day - Robert Plant

Paint it Black - Wednesday Addams ( I know, weird, but compelling for some reason

Any suggestions?

  • Nina Simone: Tom Thumb's Blues; Just Like a Woman: Times They Are A-Changin'

I started looking at covers recently. Created two playlists. One with covers only- multiple for a song. And one, where each original is followed by one cover- the one in my view is the best (for me). Both of them might not have the modern covers as you seek.

Manu

If anyone can appreciate punk covers of songs, Me First And The Gimmie Gimmies are a cover band doing everything from Elton John to Aretha Franklin to old movie songs like Over The Rainbow.

Just fun to listen to from time to time.
