I'm a huge fan of The Who. Not so much Pearl Jam, but goddamn they did a fine cover of Love Reign O'er Me:

This came up in another thread recently. T-Pain knocked War Pigs out of the park:

Blind Guardian is niche enough that they're not going to be on many people's radar, let alone for best cover ever. But their version of Mr. Sandman always brings a smile to my face, if nothing else than for the iterative nature of each verse.

Fuck yes for Blind Guardian call
Just reminded me of the time a cover of sad but true came on Spotify. I asked who it was and gf said The Hu. I thought she said The Who and was extremely confused for about 10 seconds until the Mongolian throat singing started.
I had heard that T-Pain's cover was good but never heard it myself until just now. Not only did he absolutely kill it, but the guitarist went off too. Great performance that honours the original.
