10 Amazing Covers By Music Artists You Didn't Expect

Though Christmas music is only reserved for that special time of year, there are a handful of truly great songs that we all find enjoyment in. From Shakin' Stevens to Mariah Carey, some of the industry's biggest names have released beloved festive tunes.

One such artist is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, Darlene Love, with the hit song 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)'. It makes the best of Love's incredible vocal range, and while her original will echo through the walls of the living rooms across the country in December, there is a cover out there that edges it in quality.

Few would believe that punk rock royalty Joey Ramone would deliver a Christmas classic. Yet, while staying faithful to the source material, he adds his signature tenor voice and douses the track with that iconic Ramones attitude.

The cover changes a somewhat innocent, but longing Christmas tune into a staple of Joey Ramone's discography, and one that can be appreciated by the most dedicated of punk fans.

Taking a 60s R&B classic and seamlessly making it feel in-keeping with the Ramones' catalogue is a seriously impressive, and unexpected effort.
