Hmmm,,,I like the Teen Spirit cover much more than the Losing My Religion one, she is talented but like you said kind of holds back instead of letting it all go.
I really like Anouk's version of In The Corner though, very good much more feeling in her cover, than the two songs from Tori Amos that you offered.
Testament is an American thrash metal band from San Francisco, formed in 1983. Testament has two Top 40 albums and one Top 50 album to its credit in the UK. Their 2008 album entered the Top 20 in Germany at #15. The 1999 album The Gathering also entered the Top 50 in Germany. They had minor top 100 album success in the United States.
So if wiki says that, it has to be true... Witch means you might not know them yet !
(sorry magic, this isn't your stuff, but I've fed you enough for now I recon, last few topics could count as mellow... Though you might want to look at the cover done by Milow: Ayo technologie (spelling is actually like that, though you might want to search on the right spelling also...) Obviously this is a cover on the 50cent song that is widely known. I'm not sure you know Milow, since he is dutch... But on big download sites I could find his music very easely, so he could be well known also, have no clue...)
Back to testament ! They have this great Judas Priest cover..
And their Metallica cover could count also for something... Seek and destroy:
But what I like most is this song: where you really get this trashy sound... love it... (when I'm in a trashy mood..)
I know, it's weird I really like this last song, and also the milow cover
But music = music = life.

Wuthering Heights - Wow, they are amazing, I've got to find them, I mean just listen to the musicianship, they are VERY good.
Tori Amos - I love "Losing My religion" probably as much as you do, I really love it. But I like this cover, with her voice and everything, its very emotional. I like a lot.
I'll upload Wuthering Heights if you want, just gimme some time

Hey, Oblivion, you should turn your lady friend on to a group called "Stars". They are indie, from Canada. I stumbled on them a few days ago, and have been listening to them nonstop the past few days. They are sorta electronic in sound but the vocals are amazing. check out this POST. (Stars)
Due to unexplainable lack of time I'll be updating this thread in a few days.
Also: Thanx magic nice tip!
