I'd like to add for consideration:

"Mack The Knife" - Ella Fitzgerald
"Twist and Shout" - The Beatles
"Like A Rolling Stone" - The Rolling Stones
"Killing Me Softly" - The Fugees
"Hurt" - Johnny Cash
"It's Hard To Be A Saint in the City" - David Bowie
"Respect" - Aretha Franklin
"Mr. Tamborine Man" - The Byrds
"Spirit in the Night" - Manfred Mann (better than Blinded By The Light)
"Brilliant Disguise" - Elvis Costello
and one of my all time favorites..."Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley

I've forgotten about The Fugees' "Killing Me Softly" 8)

Judging from that poll on the other thread, I'm guessing a lot of you hate him, but I think Marilyn Manson kicks ass on Personal Jesus.

Yeah most people on here don't like him.  I like some of his stuff though.

I thought Disturbed's cover of "Shout" wasn't that bad.

Nightwish's cover of Gary Moore's "Over The Hills And Far Away" is awesome too.

Did anyone here like Evanescence's cover of "Heart-Shaped Box"? I thought it was good especially for being live on the radio.

his version sounds exactly like the original....Now the Johnny Cash version, thats the winner

To begin...I like Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm much better than the flit-boy original ;)

Children of Bodom - Somebody Put Something In My Drink (Ramones cover)

Mine are
