Sting's "All This Time" mixes upbeat melodies with themes of grief, rebellion, and religion, while Puff Daddy’s "I’ll Be Missing You" crafts a sorrowful homage to The Notorious B.I.G. with borrowed riffs and gospel warmth. The Cure’s sprawling "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea" layers yearning guitars, and Garbage’s gritty "Stupid Girl" blends alt-rock with irony. Tori Amos’s "Caught a Lite Sneeze" pairs harpsichord with industrial beats, while The Black Crowes' take on "Hard to Handle" adds Southern grit to Otis Redding’s soul classic.

George Michael’s "Freedom ’90" turns rebellion into pop brilliance, blink-182’s "Mutt" speeds through punk-pop irreverence, and The Chili Peppers’ "Give It Away" bursts with funk-rock energy and altruism.
