Some of these have been recorded lots of times. I've just mentioned the writer and or original performer.

Marilyn Manson has also covered Personal Jesus.

Disturbed are underrated. I think people are put off those types of bands because they're placed in that metal category, but some of them produce fantastic music.

Covering Dutch band Shocking Blue's song gave Bananarama a No. 1 in six countries, including the US (but oddly it only got to No. 8 in the UK).

I love covers of totally amazing songs done slightly different by other great bands. I also just love finding slightly less known bands doing awesome covers .

Bananarama have recorded several covers, notably on their Viva album. I LOVE their take on Simon & Garfunkel's timeless classic.

Erasure released an EP of Abba songs, which gave them their first and only UK number one. I went to see a concert where they were performing these tracks and it was magical to see the giant flashing Abba logo.

A re-imagining of Britney's debut single.
