Online article from 2018 with links to a whole bunch of nifty covers of Fleetwood songs. I never heard a lot of these. My favorite is WMYTYTO by a band called Fanfarlo.

Each link has a little writeup.

I think you could probably file this under, "present band".

When I heard the first Pointer Sister singing the opening lines of Hypnotized, I swore it was Bob Welch.

My favorite is WMYTYTO by a band called Fanfarlo.

Hooray for this chilled cover of WMYTYTO. Great find.

Coffee-house cover of The Ledge by Nickel Creek is also a treat, glad to come across it again.

The Sisters Of The Moon electropop cover is a pretty interpretation.

A couple of my other favorite "covers" not included in this list are the joyous Cut Copy mashup of Never Forget and Lifelike's So Electric (YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnJGH65tsy0&list=RDwnJGH65tsy0&start_radio=1)), and
Bob Welch's smouldering Silver Heels cover "Hustler" (nsfw) (YouTube (https://youtu.be/aHg-HTnTc58?si=s8mupzpQ9nNknRqQ)).
Leo Kotke's World Turning and Ari Hest's Little Lies are also solid.

Here's some bonus cover trivia for you David, as a reward.
In the Buckingham Nicks version of Crystal, Lindsey initially pronounces the initial "i" in "initial" with the standard "I" vowel sound. Then on the 1975 album he regresses to a sloppy schwa ("uh-nitial"). Speech Communications major Stevie salvages the situation in the Practical Magic cover of the song years later, in which the pronunciation is restored to its first, initial feeling.

I never thought Pointer Sisters had a Fleetwood Mac cover.
