"Alone"
by Heart
(cover by The Hindley Street Country Club feat. Sarah Lloyde)

I included this song specifically because I think Sarah Lloyde does a great job with a really difficult song to sing, but the main reason I'm including this artist generally is because The Hindley Street Country Club might be my favorite YouTube find of the past year. They're an Australian cover band and they have an incredible number of videos on their YouTube channel. They upload a new video roughly once a week, and if you're a fan of pop and classic rock hits, you'll find yourself going through their videos for hours.

This one is great because "Alone" by Heart is one of my favorite songs ever, but I also highly recommend their covers of a number of other songs, including but not limited to:

          "Your Love" by The Outfield
          "New Sensation" by INXS
          "Under Pressure" by Queen & David Bowie
          "To Be With You" by Mr. Big
          "Waiting for a Star to Fall" by Boy Meets Girl
          "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship

It's a really good mix of popular 80s/90s songs and they frequently split the vocal duties among a couple of regulars with very different voices, as well as bringing a number of outside singers in to provide guest vocals depending on the needs of the song. Seriously, they have over 750,000 subscribers and 200+ videos on their channel. If you like music from this era, you won't be disappointed.
