Every now & then, you see & hear something and think, WOW
There are some awesome musicians out there creating some incredible pieces.
I hope Swaggers will post up their finds. Here is a cover from Disturbed of Simon & Garfunkel's, The Sound of Silence, What Disturbed have done is just brilliant.

Hope you enjoy
The first time I heard this version I was blown away (I am a fan of disturbed anyway for what its worth), certainly one of the best songs I've heard for quite a while.
I agree that Disturbed cover is a great version.
Jonny Cash's cover of the Nine Inch Nails track "Hurt" is brilliant. It's also the last video he made before his death. Shot at home as he was too ill to go anywhere else. The tears of his wife are real as she thinks about him

Trent Reznor was initially reluctant to let Cash cover 'Hurt'. But was blown away when he heard it:
"I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore... It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure."
Another brillant version that has exceeded the original. Funny how in its original form the song is more about the drug use and all the crap that goes with it, yet with Cash doing it you get more of a vibe about its simply looking back and reflecting on the life that you have lived
thought I'd throw up another cover from disturbed (they have a nice little habit of putting one on each album), Land of Confusion from Genesis
