Favorite cover songs

What are your favorite cover songs?

I recently bought Misfits "Project 1950" and I am tickled pink by their covers of "This Magic Moment" and "Only Make Believe."

But, my favorite covers would have to be Bouncing Souls' cover of Cocksparrer's "We're Coming Back" and KMFDM's cover of U2's "Mysterious Ways." The fact that you can tell that En Esch is suffering from a case of the flu.

Kill Switch...Klick's cover of The Cure's "Jumping Someone Else's Train" also ranks up there.

Johnny Cash's cover of Nick Cave's Mercy Seat
the Vibrators cover of the Rolling Stones Jumping Jack Flash
Any Toy Dolls Cover (Especially Tocatta in Dm and Eine Kliene Nachtmusik)
Dickies cover of Simon and Garfunkle's Sound Of Silence
45 Grave's cover of Alice Cooper's School's Out
The Damned's cover of Love's Alone Again Or

Witchery covering W.A.S.P. I wanna be somebody

best cover song ever

Save Ferris doing Come on Eileen
The gypsy kings doing hotel california
The ataris doing don henley's boys of summer

johnny cash's cover of hurt by nine inch nails

the L7 one has Joan Jett doing vocals (atleast the one i have does)
thats why i didnt count that as a cover,
if i were to count it ,then it would be on my list as well as Biohazard and vanilla ice re-doing "ice,ice baby"

I wish there were a death metal version of “Oops I did it again.” If it were real, I think that would be my favorite.

The Pixies cover of The Jesus and Mary Chain's "Head On"
The Spacemen3 cover of Rollercoaster by the 13h floor evelators
Yo La Tengo's cover of Sun Ra's "Nuclear War". The kicker was seeing them play it live. Amazing.

and the best of all
Negativland's cover of U2's "I still haven't found what I'm looking for".
