So what do you folks think is the best cover ever done? Also, covers which are better than original songs. I bring it up because I recently really got turned on to the song Mad World by Gary Jules. It was recorded for the movie Donnie Darko, and here's a music video if you don't know it.

I've heard the song before, it's really good. Never saw the video, though. That's damn cool!!

That's a great one. Very different from the original.

I'd say Children Of Bodom covering Britney Spears' "Oops I Did It Again"! :P And of course Stratovarius' covering Scorpions' "Black Out"

hmmm, for me there's a few. Megadeth - Paranoid is awesome. Children of Bodom - Rebel Yell is sick too. Oh! and shit...i forgot the name of the band but they do a cover of Deep Purple - Burn, which is ultra awesome.

I always liked Forest of Shadow's cover of Katatonia's "Rainroom".

Yeah, that's the song from the "Gears of War" commercial. I liked it so much I put the album on my lala.com want list. People must be looking to get rid of it, cause I got a notice saying it's on the way the very same day.

Yeah thats a great cover song! I think my favorite cover song might be Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson.

Not of all time (I don't know what that would be), but Faith No More's cover of War Pigs is better than the original if you ask me. :dio:

Metal Church's Highway Star is fucking awesome.

Nevermore's Love Bites is pretty kick ass as well.

Although I hate Nevermore I must admit their Love Bites cover is great and very original (as original as a cover can be anywayz :P). But the all time mega cover that mops the floor with all other covers in history is...

tadaaaannn....

Sargant Fury - She's a maniac! Man that song should have been metal all along!!!

CCR's cover of "Heard It Through the Grapevine" is the only standout that comes to mind...

Here's a list of my personal favs

Type O Negative - Black Sabbath

Megadeth - Paranoid

Bruce Dickinson - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Faith No More - War Pigs. A pretty fun track.

Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams.

I feel all the Black Sabbath tracks I listed are better than the original. In fact, TONs version of Black Sabbath is one of my favourite tracks of all time.

I'm pretty sure that was Maiden. With Blaze singing.
