Not all new music is really new, as many artists cover songs. Sometimes these are songs by their favorite artists, e.g. as a tribute to such a musical hero for a special reason, or they simply feel that a song deserves to be dusted and polished to reacquaint fans with great songs from the past. Other times, bands cover songs as a parody. Regardless of intent, some of those cover versions are so good or so much fun, we\u2019d like to put a spotlight on them. Chosen from a wide range, here are\u2014in a kind of random order\u2014a bunch of successful covers from last month\u2014links to pages where you can add them to your wantlist included.<\/em><\/p>\n

Happy new year!<\/p>\n

We start 2026 with a final look back at 2025. December saw quite a few Christmas-themed covers, but there’s little point in sharing them now (we’ll close below with just the nicest ones)\u2014please remind me in 11 months to put together a Xmas edition of this feature. Nevertheless, there was much more to enjoy.<\/p>\n
