Wicked Game - Corey Taylor
Stone Cold Crazy - Metallica
And slightly obscure, I saw Relient K do a cover of Africa (by Toto), which was pretty damn good too!

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah. One of the few cover songs that it almost unanimously praised as being superior to the original.

Class of 99 - Another Brick in the Wall (Pink Floyd cover)
Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (David Bowie cover)
Mark Lanegan - Where Did You Sleep Last Night (old folk song)
Faith No More - War Pigs (Black Sabbath cover)

I really like Cash's cover, I just disagree with people who think it was superior. The original Hurt is just amazing. It was fantastic to hear live.

Johnny Cash has done a lot of interesting/cool covers over the years. I like his version of Rusty Cage by Soundgarden.

Does rapping over another guy's beat count? If so, I'll say Despicable by Eminem, who rapped over Drake's "Over" beat.

It was epic live, I saw it during the With Teeth tour. Brilliant show. Cash's is ok, but it gets too much credit.

I don't have a favorite, but pretty much anything by Metallica. I like their versions better than any of the originals. They could cover "Old McDonald Had A Farm" or "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and it would sound awesome. :headbang

Corey Taylor and Aaron Lewis (both separately and together) do some cool acoustic covers live. I've been listening to some lately on Youtube. Lots of stuff like Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Pink Floyd. Worth checking out.

I wouldn't say favourite as I can't really think of one but I'll share this one as it's the most recent cover I'm digging. Arctic Monkeys covering Drake.
