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?

@soix  If you want to hear a version of Sound of Silence that will give you goosebumps, listen to the acoustic version from "The Ghost of Johnny Cash" with the lights turned off.

I like the Easy Star All Star cover of the entire Dark Side of the Moon in dub reggae style: "Dub Side of the Moon."

I also like the weird reggae covers and mashup/medleys of the Dred Zeppelin, particularly when they do Elvis Presley/Led Zeppelin mashups.
