In the early nineties when I heard that there was a band that "covered" Led Zeppelin songs performed in a reggae style AND the lead singer was an Elvis impersonator I just had to buy their album "Un-Led-ed" without ever hearing any of their songs. I thought that it would be comical but after playing it I was amazed how fantastic it was and I've been a fan of theirs ever since (anyone who has never heard of them should give a listen)!
Are there any other unique bands that have "covered" a rock group or rock songs, not by imitating them (like Australian Pink Floyd) or by performing parodies of their music (like "weird" Al Yankovic), but by playing someone else's music in a "different style"?
NOT looking for individual songs but whole albums (like Jeff Healey's "Cover to Cover")!
What others am I missing?
