Speaking of hip hop covers I heard the Dynamite Hack version of Boyz In The Hood the other day. That song always cracked me up.

I found a punk cover of genie in a bottle, it was really good. The Fabulous kildonans cover Bus Rider by the Guess who, I liked that one.

Pretty much anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

Motley Crue's cover of the Beatles' Helter Skelter.

Tweeter and the Monkey Man - The Headstones

Whiskey in the Jar as well. I've talked to people who arent even Metallica fans but love that song.

Metallica has done some amazing covers, but my favourite has to be their version of "Astronomy". Originally a great song by Blue Oyster Cult, Metallica took it and really turned it up to eleven...absolutely awesome cover.

I'm sorry I know that song choice is personal opinion, but the first time I heard that song and everyother time I've heard it, the first thing that comes to mind is the tradgedy that Motley Crue commited on that song.

do yourself a favor and check out some of blind guardian's covers. mr. sandman and surfin' usa are my personal favorites.

What a Wonderful World - Nick Cave and Shane McGowan.
No greater irony than a morose junkie and a hopeless drunk singing perhaps the world's happiest song.

Teenage Fanclub's Like a Virgin is pretty cool too.

Great song, the original I mean.

The Who - Summertime Blues, The Who also made many other good covers.

and 75% of Creedence Clearwater Revival's songs are good covers.

Smashing Pumpkins' 'Landslide', really great.
