Hands down, favourite cover of all time is Motorheads cover of Enter Sandman. The main instrumental part is mostly the same, I think the solos are slightly different, but the way Lemmy sings it is just so gooood! Metallica wrote this song, Motorhead MADE this song.
Holy shit that is awesome. Then again, I like Muse quite a bit. They seem to get a lot of unwarranted hate from some of my friends. (By the way, where can you get that track?)
Well, Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower is a no-brainer, so along the same lines,
I've always maintained that while Bob Dylan is a great songwriter, every time one of his songs gets covered the result is almost always better.

Oh hell yes, I love that version. The bass line alone kicks ass.
This has been covered by a shitload of bands but this version completely takes the song out of whiny emo mode and kicks it straight to ass-kicking electronic hard rock mode.
I liked it. A bit depressing but, then again, so is the original Speaking of NIN:
It's not better or worse than Led Zeppelin, but it's dark and eerie in a really awesome way.
There's probably other ones I like better but this is what I can think of right now.
I didn't even know this was a cover until recently, and after hearing the original, Disturbed style definitely suits the song a little better. Helps the music video is animated. And that apparently I'm a fan of Disturbed, since I have more songs from them in my music folder than any other artist. At least, at the moment.
This one is mainly because I'm one of the few people who can't stand Micheal Jackson as a singer. Part of me can't help but be a little creeped out by his voice. And yes, while there's plenty of references to him, especially in the video itself, I definitely prefer this version. The voice actually sounds more adult, no offense to Micheal Jackson fans.
I'm going to let you in on a secret, guys: It's considered good form to spoiler videos, no matter how few you wish to post. Particularly in threads where every post contains a video.
That shit adds up to bring people's internet speeds to a crawl.
