Imagine doing a cover with the artist in the audience...

Speaking of Kennedy Center Honors performances, watching Bono sing along to Eddie Vedder on "One" is one for the ages.

Musically my favorite rendition of "One" is still Bono + Mary J. Blige, but Eddie does it damn well too.

What do you think of the Todd Terje version of Johnny & Mary with Brian Ferry on vocals?

I'm down with it, despite the preposterous melodrama and cheesy Chariots of Fire and other 80s stylings. Sometimes, when you're in the mood, having it layed on way, way too thick is just the ticket.

There's an official video you can look for on your own. I find the luxurious pictures perfectly at odds with the sentiment of the song so I don't recommend.

Moby's rendition of Joy Division's New Dawn Fades:

(Some may recall this from the Heat soundtrack.)

From the website of The Boss: "His 21st studio album with Columbia Records, Only The Strong Survive is a collection of fifteen soul music greats celebrating soul music gems from the legendary catalogues of Motown, Gamble and Huff, Stax and many more. 'I wanted to make an album where I just sang,' said Bruce Springsteen. 'And what better music to work with than the great American songbook of the Sixties and Seventies?'" The Boss does soul covers with horns, strings, back-up singers, slick production values... And it all works just fine. Here are 2 official videos from the 2022 release, along with a YouTube link to the full album, where 2 more videos are also available. Please enjoy some soulful Springsteen to start the new year.

I think it's beautiful and Ferry's vocal is perfect. I don't find it cheesy at all.

Perhaps my all time favorite cover...

Purists will likely hate it, which is partially why I love it. Partridge does a wonderfully twisted dylanesque performance.

Warren Zevon covers Steve Winwood's Back in the High Life Again

Such a poignant and honest rendition -- and more than a little bit depressing. I love this cover and have done for a long time.
