BTW Tibbsy, have you heard the version of 'Another Brick in the Wall (pt 2) by that supergroup featuring Layne Staley and Tom Morello? It's quite good.

EDIT 2: Found a better version, longer... And better quality... Definitely digging it, cheers Alby!

I don't know how to explain it, but I just know that I like Ignite's cover of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2. Then again, Richard Cheese's version is pretty boss, but that's because he's the King of Covers.

There are so many excellent covers already in here; Type O Negative, 1000 Homo DJs, Marylin Manson, FNM and of course the great Johnny Cash.
Here's another FNM, covering I Started a Joke. Seriously, watch the vid. It's excellent.
Spoiler:
Judas Priest covers Joan Baez's Diamonds and Rust.
Spoiler:
Amorphis covers Hawkwind's Levitation.
Spoiler:
Life of Agony covering Redemption Song. Perfect version, Keith's emotive voice really shines.

Have you seen this version? It is very well put together.

Chris Cornell's version of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". It's a very different feeling song that I like equally to the original, except for the horrible solo. I'm not sure who the guitarist was, but I'm not impressed.
Spoiler:
Pearl Jam's version of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" (amongst their covers of Pink Floyd's "Mother", The Who's "Baba O' Riley" and "Love Reign O'er Me", and Victoria Williams' "Crazy Mary")
