    Orgy -Blue Monday

    *incidentally great song for cardio

    Edit:
    I might get crucified for this but Social Distortion's cover of "Ring of Fire"
    and if you haven't watched Alanis Morisettes' cover of "My Humps" on Youtube, please do. Immediately.

    I also enjoy Wheatus' version of A Little Respect (Erasure) and Erasure's cover of Take A Chance on Me (ABBA).

    I just got through listening to one of the best remakes of a song I have heard in a lifetime.
    Godsmack covered Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. The remake is a beautiful song and I like the remake if not more than the original and I love both Metallica and Godsmack.

    here's the link

    I love a good cover. Most recently my favorite has been this one.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9NF2edxy-M

    That was pretty cool! I've never seen anything like that before.

    That is cool, and I don't even like that song!

    GnR "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" has been mentioned a few times, but it's probably my favorite cover. I also quite like Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together".
