Best Covers you have heard ?

i know for many, this is a song and a lot of people will say that this is just plain wrong, but this is by far one of the best covers i have heard, i love the way the feel of the song is changed, it's made to feel a lot more erie feeling and i found myself paying a lot more attension to the lyrics and their meaning to the original, i found the original just slightly too cheery, maybe its just me.

 
Always enjoyed Led Zeppelin's Lemon Song which is mainly a cover of Killing Floor by Howlin' Wolf. Jimmy Hendrix did a cover of it at roughly the same time but Zeppelin's version was much better. Sleazy, filthy and magnificent.

My band have started doing a cover of Pokerface as well, though we've thrown a bit of Alice Cooper's Poison in there too.
 
Disturbed - Land of Confusion
Slayer - In a Gadda Da Vida
Cradle of Filth - Those Who Died, Black Metal, Devil Woman and many others :D
Presedents of the USA - Video Killed the Radio Star
Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons

oh and Hounds of Love by the Propellerheads <-- Awesomeness!!

oh...and everything by Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine :D

Agree with most of the rock covers of older songs that have been posted. Few songs mentioned that I didn't even realise were covers too :eek:
 
Snake River Conspiracy - How Soon Is Now


Would post their version of the Cure's Love Song as well but can't find a version on youtube :(
