Agree with Immigrant Song, so much better than the original song too.

NIN did the original - which cover of Closer did you like? Quite a few acts did one...

Johnny Cash - Hurt



Amateur cover, not quite better than Tool but really close for a guy with a keyboard.

+rep as they're all not only great covers, but better than the originals.

Even though I adore Depeche Mode, I like Marilyn Mansons better, I prefer his vocals:

and they used it to wonderful effect in a trailer for Dexter season 6:

^ I thought that Johnny Cash did a pretty good cover of Personal Jesus also.

MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE COVER:
"Boyz In The Hood" by Dynamite Hack



Other good ones:

"Wonderwall" by Cartel



"Rolling In The Deep" by Go Radio

Okay, I realize that this is exploitive and dumb, but so were the original Misfits, and if you love them (and how could you not, you HEARTLESS MONSTER!), you'll enjoy The Misfats:





"It's an overload!"

Okay, I wanted to post their GREAT cover of Crocodile Rock, but apparently it's not on youtube, so King Uszniewicz almost-as-great cover of Doo Wah Diddy will have to suffice.



"She looked good. to my door. looked good my door wedding bells are gonna chime"

Baker Street by the Foo Fighters. This was originally performed by Gerry Rafferty. I'm not a huge Foo Fighters fan but they killed this one.

I would post the link if I could... Easy to google...

Someone finally uploaded Foetus (as Steroid Maximus) covering Raymond Scott - Powerhouse (anyone who's ever watched old Looney Toons should recognize this after a minute).

Eddie Vedder covering Cat Stevens, awesome
