Coal chamber. Shock the monkey by Peter Gabriel is hilarious somehow they roped ozzy into it.

Six feet under has an album where they. Re did the entire back in black album front to back. I believe it's graveyard classics 3 I could be wrong.

Agony scene paint it black is a pretty neat take on the original.

[The Owl]

I'm also of the mind that exactly replicating a song is stupid and pointless, to me a "cover" should be a reinterpretation or a radical rewriting of a song: (I think this is why I totally despise tribute albums)

Time Won't Let Me - The Smithereens (The Outsiders - 1966)

 

[Gaius46]

Jimi Hendrix' cover of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower." That is how the song was meant to be done.

Sting's cover of Hendrix' "Little Wing" - especially for Hiram Bullock's guitar work. Another who died too young.

 

[Richland123]

Quite a few of J. J. Cale's songs have been covered by many including these.

"After Midnight" and "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton
"Bringing It Back" by Kansas
"Call Me the Breeze" and "I Got the Same Old Blues" by Lynyrd Skynyrd,

 

[bound'n'blocked]

RacerX's version of BOC's "Godzilla" kicks booty.

Rush did justice to quite a few of the songs they covered on the Feedback album. And there is a good cover of Skid Row covering the Rush tune "What You're Doing" that I really like.
