Great Queen Covers

Hi guys,
Just thought I'd start a thread about other bands/artists doing excellent covers of songs from Queen. Queen is no more, so it's refreshing to hear other artists doing their songs.
I have two that I feel actually sounds better than the originals. First one is "Spread Your Wings" by the German power metal band, Blind Guardian. The second is "Who Wants to Live Forever" by Sarah Brightman. I have others but they don't sound better than the originals (IMO, of course). I can't find SB's original on youtube, only the live ones. Sounds pretty close to the album recording anyways.
So if any of you guys have other great ones, please share them.

Although Queen is playing, Paul Rodgers does a great job with the vocals. Excellent DVD if you have never seen.

Thanks Daronb. I'll have to see if they also have a studio recording with Paul Rodgers. Not really a fan of live recordings but I'll still check it out. Thanks again.
