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

Do They Owe Us A Living? by Croy and the Boys, which is a country cover of the 70s punk song by Crass.
Absolutely love this song.

Fuck yeah, Crass. Did not know this song was covered. Thanks!
Edit: didn’t realize you said country and listened to it. Not my type of country, but respect the cover/band and the great suggestion. I just can’t listen to that twangy, slide guitar country. But thanks regardless!

Ooof, that is a terrible one. I think it was about a girl?
I was legitimately surprised that he could actually sing a good Nirvana cover.

Not really sure if it is relevant to what you’re asking, but I think it’s so cool. https://youtu.be/NLnfFUZNkww?
Toto - Africa (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli feat. Rabea & Hannah)
This cover should meet just about all of your criteria, but it’s already a few years old.
I don’t know how to switch accounts and fucked up my wife’s entire persona she was building by commenting under her account. Instead of deleting the comments when I realised my mistake, I instead just switched accounts and left those comments there for her to find when she woke up. I claim to have planned to go back to delete them, but instead I was just gonna completely forget about them.
I am so smart 🤓

The A.V. Club used to do a series where bands would come on and choose from a list of songs to cover. As the season goes on, the list shrinks and the covers get more exotic. You can search “av undercover” on YouTube to watch through the back catalog of old seasons for some pretty great covers. I don’t think they do it anymore, but it ran for several years.

I never found a metal rendition of a ‘softer’ song that’s better than the original so I got nothing on that.
But here’s few of some artis I follow.
Eleanor Rigby - Josh Turner I think most of the song he cover is old (idk I don’t really listen to classic song). But good lord, he’s talented af.
Jack Conte (CEO of Patreon) are on both of these. Pomplamoose is his band with his wife Nataly Dawn.
Scary pockets brings different singer (and other instrument) each song, mostly funk forward.
Just the 2 of us - Scary Pockets
If you like those two, you probably also like Lawrence
This is just straight up jazz but they’re super good. Young Original - Its a lovely day today

Their cover of “Lake of Fire” is also good (though the original is great on its own)

All 3 Meatpuppets covers are so good. I like how they had one or both? Of them on stage.

Placebo’s version of Running up that Hill is the definitive version. Fight me.
