There's this cover of 'In the Air Tonight' that's really good. I never cared for the original (or any Phil Collins in general), but this is really good. Unfortunately, I have no idea who did it!

You might be talking about the one by Holly McNarland. I like it, too, but I wish they had mixed it with the vocals just a wee bit stronger - sometimes she gets drowned out a little.

Isn't 'Mony Mony' by Billy Idol also a cover?

Yes. Tommy James and The Shondells did the original, if memory serves.

You are correct, sir. It came out on an EP, his first solo effort after Generation X, I believe.
Another Tommy James cover was done by Joan Jett--"Crimson and Clover", as well as Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now".

Sorry...Tommy James fan here.

I think so. Not that I know the original if it was.

In concert a couple years back, Queensryche did a very cool version of U2's Bullet the Blue Sky. Another favorite of mine. Not that I'm a Queensryche fan or anything...

Metallica's Turn the Page and Whiskey in the Jar, especially the latter.

Iron Horse's Fade to Bluegrass: a Bluegrass Tribute to Metallica, especially The Four Horsemen.

Nightwish's Phantom of the Opera.

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions:

I just listened to 'Ballroom Blitz' by Krokus. Pretty damn good.
