Whisky In the Jar
Stone Cold Crazy
The Ecstasy Of Gold
Turn The Page
Pantera:
Cat Scratch Fever
Motorhead:

Cradle Of Filth:
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Machine Head:
Message In A Bottle
Disturbed:
Shout 2000
Land of Confusion
Sinergy:

Thought Metallica's version of Turn the Page was disgusting.. Bob Seegers is just a classic...
Anyhow...Classic rock had a free CD a couple of issues back with a US band Tesla doing some covers......so here goes...Tesla..Beer drinkers n hell raisers by ZZ Top

The guy did about five albums of covers. But nothing sounded as heartfelt and as appropriate as that one.
Here was a guy who knew he was dying and was reflecting on his life - the chances he had and the chances he blew. It wasa confession of regret and realisation.
One of the songs of the decade. 8)
Embarressingly, I also like tAtUs version of 'How soon is now' :oops:
...... and yes, before anyone asks, I am on tablets! :lol:
Cheers

However ... my list of favourite covers?
All thrash/goth/metal - HOWEVER - too many to list. If it sounds like the original I bin it.
If you are going to cover something ... do it YOUR way.
Oh .. here we go ...
Angra - Wuthering Heights (both versions!)

Diamond Head....now thats a band who got left on the start line...Am I Evil...etc
