Interesting or unique covers? Gregorian.  German band that does
Gregorian chant-ish pop and rock covers.
While I'm partial to their covers of Rammstein's "Engel" and Queen's
"Who Wants To Live Forever," under them, "Nothing Else Matters" and
"Losing My Religion" take on whole new meanings. Interestingly, Simon
and Garfunkel could have written straight for Gregorian.
