Adding to some of those already shared
Toy Dolls - Final Countdown
You probably know this band either from their rendition of Nellie the Elephant (calling it valid as it is a "cover" in some senses of an old nursery rhyme) or their contribution to the Tony Hawk 4 soundtrack. On cover versions they usually have a great version most albums but this thread is already getting a bit unwieldy so I will leave it there for now other than to say they might look silly, and have some silly songs but most of those are good and they have loads of good songs in general too (not to mention Olga is an amazing guitarist if you stop and listen). Well worth checking them out.
In some ways this is more of a take/reimagining than a cover but still my favourite version of it all
Dead Kennedys - I fought the law
