Can not agree on machine head doing hallowed be thy name better then maiden but then again im a maiden fan. I really should of been born in the 70s so i could of lived through the 80s, most of the music i have on my Ipod is no where near current.

There is tons of excellent covers which I've seen and discovered here; If I would have to share one and only one with you here, I think that it would be :

Johnny Cash - hurt

To me, this cover of NIN is perhaps one of the three best cover songs ever did, this song has the power to comfort me when I am sad and to make me melancholic when I am doing fine.

Any song Nirvana covered they did with total class..

Here is one i'd like to add

Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in the Jar

Then Metallica performing the sh!t out of it..

Metallica...there's a band I hope I never hear from again. "Bunch of assholes" - The Dude

...tough to outshine Frankie, but Elvis held his own covering that song

GREAT version of Dixie

Personally, I reckon the cover of Desolation Row MCR made for the Watchmen film was better than the Bob Dylan original.

Not sure if this counts as a reworking rather than a cover, but I also prefer the Eminem version of Dream On by Aerosmith, (Sing for the moment)

And finally, Muse's version and Eels' versions of Feeling Good are both improvements on the original, ut can't find the Eels one on youtube, so enjoy some Muse.
