Looking for some covers of popular songs especially anything from the 80s or 90s that's been redone today into a hard rock or metal version. Bonus if it's a female vocalist

But I'm open to anything if the covers good or better than the original

Boys of Summer - The Ataris

Don Henley's 1984 version is nice, but this early 00s power pop version hits so good.

That's actually sort of why I made this thread is because of that cover

Wow! Same wavelength!

It is such a good song.
