Took a Peloton ride a couple weeks ago and the theme (from an instructor who likes Motown / soul) was remakes of popular rock by those artists... I'll post a couple that I found cool...

This song has been covered by probably every pop, rock, country, or R&B singer ever.  Here are a couple of my favorites:

Depeche Mode:

And here's one of my favorite local alt-country/rockabilly bands, Two Tons of Steel, covering The Cure:

Here's another version... First heard it back in the day when Pandora Radio was a thing and you'd get fed all sorts of obscure artists because the rights were cheap lol...

T-Swizzle likes to do covers in concert.  I ran across this one recently when my daughter was skimming though music on Youtube, and it reminded me that I actually saw her sing this one in concert at Circuit of the Americas back in 2017.

I love the Disturbed version.  Apparently a lot of folks don't, but it takes all kinds I suppose.

I have to admit that I also like the Pentatonix cover.  Both are excellent, IMO

I like Pentatonix alright.  I will say that after a while, all of their stuff just sort of sounds the same to me.

And I say that as a huge marching band and choir nerd going way back.

I agree with you there.  For an acapella group, I think I prefer Home Free (which does an excellent cover of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire, btw).  They at least seem to bounce around from country to rock to hillbilly rock, etc.  Never know what they will come up with next.
