They were on that next great band show from way back! Great band (and fun show...surpriaed they didn't try to keep it going). This looks like it was from that? 

It was from the show. They rebranded as "Sons of Sylvia" but only released one album. They also were guest performers on American Idol

[Mr. Ected]

My favorite Cars song from years ago (Moving in Stereo) covered by Byzantine (don’t know the group).

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggkssvg_Lpk

The cover doesn't seem to get the song. The beginning of MIS was sooo cool at the time because of the way that they had Ben Orr's voice and other sounds are 'move' back and forth from side to side. The cover has some of the instruments in the left and right speakers, but it is no different than a regular 'stereo' song. The singer's voice is consistently in the center. It just missed the point of the song.

Zevon’s Desperados Under the Eaves - Puddles Pity Party

Beautiful

Same song by Dawes on Letterman ,  ever saw this version before

One of my favorite Zevon songs. Puddles was meh, but Dawes did a good job.

I don't know how I got here but I love it

I had to do a double take because Grohl really looked like Letterman.

 

[UncleZen]

Surprised this one hasn't been mentioned yet. This to me is one of the best covers of all time:
Sound of Silence - Disturbed

I really enjoy some of the Kennedy Center covers.
One of my favorites may have to do with timing too. Steven Tyler had some issues with his larynx or idk... something in the news where he may not tour or sing again. Because today's www, since I was reading that, YouTube presented Steven Tyler singing a medley to Paul McCartney.
In a few minutes Tyler does all his own classic shtick- the big inhale, some ska... everything.

It hit different. Dude I'm gonna miss you.

He healed up and I guess they're doing a tour but ....that medley is still pretty great twenty second covers to me

Eddie is my untouchable voice I think. I don't like people singing his songs. It's never good enough.
Do you ever feel that way about a singer?

Nah, not really. And I like that cover as much as the PJ version.
