I love Fred Froom's cover of Todd Rundgren's "Pretending to Care". It's a really tough song to nail. I've heard several cover versions, but all pale next to Froom's, IMHO. Todd's original comes up short by comparison and even Jennifer Warnes (who's a pretty fair cover artist herself - see "Famous Blue Raincoat) whiffs on this one.
Bonus points for Froom: AFAIK, it's the only song he has ever recorded.

PS One more "Heaven's Door" cover: Warren Zevon when he knew he was dying. In context, it's very powerful.
