    i've got two more to add, both the same song, covered by different artists.

    Stripped by Drist
    Stripped by Rammstein

    original by depeche mode

    also the only nirvana song worth a damn is a cover.
    The Man Who Sold the World by Nirvana (original by David Bowie)

    I favor Mr. Cash's cover of Rusty Cage (Soundgarden)

    Also, Jeff Buckley's cover of Hallelujah, which was originally by Leonard Cohen

    Much of the repertoire of the Brian Setzer Orchestra is covers, as is the whole of the Commitments soundtrack. Joe Jackson did a bunch of excellent big band covers for his album Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive.

    speaking of... Anthrax 'Got the Time', originally by Joe Jackson

    If we're going to include classical music in this, or at least orchestra music, then the Tour de Japon cover of Final Fantasy IX's Not Alone is awesome in every single way. Including the conductor. Especially the conductor. One Winged Angel also gets an honourable mention.

    Secondly, a golden oldie from the young internet that pretty much everyone will recognise: Pachebel's Canon in D Major on electric guitar (Canon Rock).

    I love Skindred but can't stand that song. Or the rest of the album really.

    Also Black Magic woman by Santana (Originally by Fleetwood Mac)

    Absolutely the best version of this song, hands down. It's simply incredible.

    Adding Swan Lake by Dark Moor to the list. It is just too amazing to ignore. Original by Tchaikovsky (sp?).
