Ok, screw it. Why not? Here's a few more
First, a few more Sabbath covers.
Corrosion of Conformity (one of the most overlooked Metal bands of all time) covering "Lord of This World" by Black Sabbath. They included some of "Sleeping Village" at the end. Genius.
Pantera's cover of "Planet Caravan" by Black Sabbath
Faith No More (a very versatile band). First, a Black Sabbath cover
and FNM doing a Commodores cover
Voivod covers of one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs
Bruce Dickinson (best known as Iron Maiden's vocalist) covered this song by The Scorpions.
Stevie Ray Vaughan did an instrumental version of "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix.
Jimi Hendrix cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower"
Type O Negative doing an obscure cover of a Seals and Crofts song, "Summer Breeze". ToN do the best cover songs because they're so different and unique.

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
Just heard another one on Sirius, I didn't re-read the whole thread, so it may have been mentioned.
Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me, by Jackson Browne, and Bonnie Raite, off of the Warren Zevon tribute album, Enjoy Every Sandwich.
What a GREAT version of the song. I actually like it better then Warren's version.

I know Chris Cornell did this remix. But David Cook to me did it slightly better.

I meant that it's obscure for Metal.

All great ones...although I like these 2 Manson covers better.
Down in the Park (Gary Numan cover)
Working Class Hero (John Lennon cover)
This version sounds very raw, like Lennon's original does. Green Day and also Ozzy Osbourne both did covers of this song as well, but theirs are more studio polished, which loses the feel of the song.
Iron Maiden covering 'Cross Eyed Mary' (Jethro Tull cover)
Less than Jake - hotel california
Gipsy Kings: Hotel California (The Eagles)
"Fuckin Quintana. That creep can roll, man"
"Fuckin Quintana. That creep can roll, man"
I know I have added quite a few already, but I had to add this one.
Bruce Dickinson: All the Young Dudes (David Bowie song, written for Mott the Hoople)

most covers suck !!!!!!!!!!!! it all depends if the artist or person covering it has more balls too make it sound way better or somewhat better then original song.
Damn, you sound pissed off there. However, I agree. I wonder if it's about balls or if it's about creativity. Maybe both. Most covers suck, or are weak, like a novelty. You hear it once or twice and that's enough. Others are great and can be heard again and again. And a few are just so awesome that you want to say it's better than the original.
