This post and the thread that it was in made me think of some unusual covers I've heard. Do you have any favorite covers done either in a totally different genre, unusual performer (like the kids doing 46&2) or with very different instruments? I'll post a couple of examples that I like that are well done but very different from the original.
Tool- Lateralus peformed on Japanese Koto. I served a mission in Asia and taught a guy that played this instrument. I appreciate what it took to put this together.
