An incredible german band "The Baseballs" (link) makes covers of well-known pop songs in the style of the 50s and 60s. The result is fantastic. E.g., a lot of people (incl. me) hought that the song "Umbrella" (link) is originally sung by Elvis Presley. However, this song was first recorded in 2007 by certain Rihanna (link) and is rather different to Baseball's cover (link).
Just get yourself the band's first and meanwhile only album "Strike!" (link).

Return of the Champions
A live album "Return of the Champions" (link), recorded in 2005 by Queen and Paul Rodgers, turned out to be really spectacular. I didn't think it's possible to perform Queen's songs so startling without Freddie Mercury. A characteristic example is an album "Five Live" with George Michael and Lisa Stansfield (link). Unlike George Michael, Paul Rodgers has sung perfect. He neither tried to reproduce Freddie's style totally, nor made the songs sound entirely different.
Just listen. Or get yourself a DVD.
