are there any other examples where a musician goes outside their genre or does a cover and actually sounds pretty good?

Kate bush does a great reggae Irish lilt version of rocket man. It's on YouTube
U2 went from earnest post-punk-based arena-sized American roots rock in the 80s to wholly ironic funky, house music influenced alt rock/electronic in the 90s:

Jesus fuck i hate this cover. I have hear it 3 times a day at work, 7 days a week.
It's tremendously well-polished shit. I admire draiman's vocal performance, and willingness to try something new, but the retarded symphonic production and operatic vocal performance are completely wrong-headed.
The subtleties of the songwriting, the neurosis and alienation, get completely lost in this maximalist My Heart Will Go On mess.
The original was ruined in the same way- the producer slapped some electric guitar and drums on it while paul simon was fucking around britain.
Fuck
