Some of my favorites...
"The Wind Beneath My Wings" by Sonata Arctica
Seal's "Crazy" by Mushroomhead
Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" by August Burns Red (because it's screamo and hysterical!)
"Who Wants to Live Forever" by Breaking Benjamin
"Over My Head (Cable Car)" by A Day to Remember (he sings it so well, and then a couple places goes METAL with it!)
"House of the Rising Sun" by Five Finger Death Punch
"King of Pain" by Mudvayne
"Snowblind" by System of a Down
ANY of the "10 Second Songs" on Youtube (one guy sings a song in a bunch of different styles, most of his impressions are really awesome!)

Their cover-mix of Break Free and See Through ... Mitch's voice is only matched by the angels. Totally a'capella - no musical instruments of any kind.

This is probably a cover of a cover but House Of The Rising Sun originally came from about the 16th century and Woody Guthrie did the version we hear today and it has been covered by many since then. I think the best version is by Bob Dillon.

I agree! PTX has some of the BEST covers and their voices are amazing!DATo wrote:Once again, I must put in a plug for Pentatonix (PTX).

I also really like any cover by Tanner Patrick, I could listen to his voice all day long! (I'm too new to post a link to any of his videos but I suggest you look him up on youtube, he has a lot of covers)
