Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes, 1,000 Oceans (many others)
Fiona Apple - Loveridden
Grant Lee Buffalo - Sing Along
Kate Bush (w/David Gilmour & Trio Bulgarka) - Rocket's Tail
Chris Cornell - Say Goodbye
Happy Rhodes - Serenading Genius
Stone Temple Pilots - Big Empty
Richard & Linda Thompson - Dimming of the Day
Tanita Tikaram - Consider the Rain


Both you and ThePresence have great taste!!
There are alot of songs done by the Moody Blues that are real nice songs!!
I still have my collection of LP`s.......I have all the LP`s that Moody Blues Put out as well as European covers!!
I also have most of ELP`s stufff....Emerson Lake and Palmer!! Thise wer the days!!

O.K. as long as you recognize LZ claimed they wrote it, but they in fact stole it, like they stole almost everything they recorded:

""When the Levee Breaks" is a blues song written and first recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The song is in reaction to the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.

It was famously re-worked by English rock group Led Zeppelin as the last song on their fourth album, released in 1971. The lyrics in Led Zeppelin's version were based on the original recording..."

read a little further and you will find that Led Zep credited McCoy and Minnie on the album.
