Anyway, I really like Jeff Buckley's cover of that song!

"21st Century Schizoid Man" covered by Ozzy Osbourne on his "Prince of Darkness" box-set. Not bad! Smile

I think there have been some deeply objectionable covers of classics like "Smoke on the Water" or "Stairway to Heaven", and I think everybody remembers that utterly cloying version of "Light My Fire" by a guy whose name I can't even remember. In Seventies Italy, as Paolo pointed out, covering British rock classics was quite the thing to do - one band we have here, I Dik Dik, covered "Nights in White Satin" with the title "Ho difeso il mio amore" (I Defended My Love).

I've just listened to "Un gioco senza età" (literarily: "an ageless game") by the Italian melodic female singer Ornella Vanoni. The song was recorded around 1972.

It seems that's got nothing to do with prog but... that's a cover of Genesis's White Mountain!!!
 
Do you know any other any other odd prog cover by absolutely non-prog artists?
