Favorite Cover Songs?

[18th Floor Balcony]

Personally, I happen to really love cover songs.... what are some of your favorites?

Social Distortion "Ring of Fire"(Johnny Cash)
Johnny Cash "Hurt" (NIN)-although practically any Cash cover done on his time with American Recordings was freaking amazing
Angie Aparo "Man in the Box"(Alice in Chains)
Children of Bodom "She Is Beautiful"(Andrew WK)
Cake "I Will Survive"(Gloria Gaynor)

Those are the ones off the top of my head...

[enamored]

Stevie Ray Vaughn "Voodoo Chile" (Jimi Hendrix)
Alien Ant Farm "Smooth Criminal" (Michael Jackson)

[PATMAN]

Metallica "Turn the Page" (Bob Seger)

Jimmy Eat World "Firestarter" (Prodigy) JEW's version was 10x better.



I have to say, 18th floor, I like the NIN version of Hurt
