I love hearing all sorts of interesting covers of popular songs, so I thought I'd ask the collective ("resistance is futile") what their favorite cover songs are? I'll start with my current playlist of Metal Covers:

 

[msing539]

Everywhere by XO Cupid (Fleetwood Mac)
Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley (Leonard Cohen)
Jolene by The White Stripes (Dolly Parton)
La Isla Bonita by Tasha (Madonna)
Lean On by Scary Pockets (Major Lazer & DJ Snake)

I love covers sometimes it makes great songs especially when it is done in a new style/genre.
Nouvelle Vague doing New Wave and Punk In Bossa Nova comes to mind.

I like Post Modern Jukebox, missed them in concert this year. Piddles the Clown does some amazing stuff, actually.

Marilyn Manson's stuff (along with Rob Zombie) is what got me started on the metal covers years ago.

When Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer sings song of Bob Marley. Two kings meets third king... Epic
