Strangely, my favourite version of that song is from the Muppets. Call me strange, but I love it. :P

For Whom the Bell Tolls - Moonsorrow

Painkiller by Death is great.

Original: Richard Hawley - Just Like The Rain

Cover: The Maccabees - Just Like The Rain

As much as I like the original, the cover is just has everything a cover should have... a sound of its own.

the only one I could think right now is Paranoid by metallica originally done by black sabbath

Interesting site. I can't really pick one, probably something off Garage Days by Metallica. STP did a good job on Revolution before too.

Definitely "Shadowplay" by The Killers, originally by Joy Division. I just love that song.

Everyone ALWAYS talks about this cover, and this cover was garbage.

You can pretty much go two ways when you do a cover: either copy the original material as much as possible, or try to diverge from it and take it somewhere where no one imagined.

Jimi Hendrix did the latter when he covered "All Along the Watchtower". Johnny Cash did the former when he covered "Hurt".

And the original NIN version was just ****ing better. Johnny Cash tried to flat out copy NIN, without having the musical complexity to match the original work. So we pretty much get the equivalent of Sheryl Crow doing a straight-forward acoustic guitar cover of GNR's "Sweet Child of Mine".

Bottom line...it's ****.

And the music video doesn't matter, because **** music videos. Those haven't been relevant since about 1995. And even long before then, music videos have had a long history of not having a single ****ing thing to do with the actual music. Music videos are just pretty pictures that MTV put together to distract people from whether or not the music they were playing was any good. **** that ****.

But the cover sucks. NIN did it better, and the only reason people kiss Johnny Cash's ass about this is because Johnny Cash is a musical legend who died shortly after the cover was released. It was a lazy and unambitious cover, and it doesn't hold a candle to the original.

Racer X - Godzilla (Blue Oyster Cult originally)

Painkiller by Death is great.

Why can't he just do the song in his own words? The song has new meaning because of the new point of view. Instead of a real empire of dirt, johnny cash actually has an empire. It was a song from the young for the young but cash, being old, made it for everyone.

Hurt: A song from the young for the young?

That's like saying all young people are heroin addicts who want to kill themselves when they realise how much of a dick they've been.

Caramell Dansenthe metal cover

A Perfect Circle - Imagine

Sooooo much better than John Lennon's.

I love The Birthday Massacres cover of Last Daze. Only U-Tube link I could find for it comes with this silly Sailor Moon music video someone made. Much prefer it to the original. One of my most played music files, such a fast, frantic, aggressive track yet at the same time kind of cute.

Knockin' on Heavens Door covered by Guns N Roses

Dream Theater's cover of Iron Maiden's entire Number of the Beast album.

You get used to the vocals the second time. :P I agree that the vocals are terrible but the instruments are teh pwnage.

"All Along the Watchtower" played by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, originally written by Bob Dylan.

Sun of the Sleepless's cover of Dunkelheit originally by Burzum.

I'm also quite fond of Emperor's cover of A Fine Day to Die (by Bathory).

Oops... I Did It Again - Children of Bodom

That made me laugh. 'Britney Spears' Cover, lol.
