Anyone who saw Billy Joel's name on the guest list for last night's episode of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon had to expect a few memorable musical moments.

The Evanescence vocalist takes on Chris Isaak's 1995 single and fulfills her desire to release this long in the works cover.

Amy Lee continues her series of YouTube cover songs by taking on Led Zeppelin's 'Going to California.'

A Finnish band has put their own down-home bluegrass stamp on AC/DC's 1990 classic 'Thunderstruck.'

In what's become one of Eric Calderone's most popular YouTube videos, this metal version of 'Let it Go' absolutely rips.

A viral video features a metal guitarist performing 'Let It Go' from 'Frozen.'

Here we have a video of a talented young man playing Cannibal Corpse's most famous song, 'Hammer Smashed Face' on his bass clarinet. More like 'Hammer Smashed Bass (Clarinet),' right!? Sorry, that was the best we could come up with.

Outside of a few old-school East Coast joints from our high school days, we admit that most hip-hop goes over our heads here at UCR. But every once in a while we’ll hear something that strikes a note of recognition to our classic rock-loving ears, and it’s the subject of a new list.

Country superstar Garth Brooks has never been shy about his rock influences, from smashing his guitars onstage to his hit re-working of Billy Joel's 'Shameless.' His new eight-disc box set, 'Blame It All on My Roots,' which was released on Thanksgiving Day, features four discs of covers, two of which are packed with his favorite rock songs.

While metalheads and Miley Cyrus may seemingly have little in common, those lines just got a little blurred with a new cover version of the pop singer's hit song 'Wrecking Ball.'

If you are a child of the 80s (I'm more of the 90s, but had an older brother who made me jam every new 80s album) then I think you'll be able to appreciate these cover songs. One of my favorite things to do is to scour YouTube and find people doing awesome covers of some of my favorite songs.

I'll be honest with you. I love listening to cover songs on YouTube. It's amazing to see the amount of talent, the sad thing is that most of these people will never get the recognition that they should.
