The only covers I seem to really enjoy are ones that take a completely different direction from the original. This is because they make me laugh. In this light, I give you:

Korn - Kidnap The Sandy Claws
Sonata Arctica - The Wind Beneath My Wings
Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide
Raintime - Beat It
Children Of Bodom - Oops, I Did It Again
Richard Cheese - What's My Age Again
Pat Boone - Stairway To Heaven (he has a whole album like that.)

I genuinely enjoy all these, though your mileage may vary. And let's be honest with ourselves, no discussion of covers is complete without Gregorian chant versions of Metallica. I'd suggest you watch all of the Masters Of Chant stuff because it's amazing.

Masters of Chant - Nothing Else Matters

Hope you enjoy!

I love covers like this, too! I'm going to try them all. :)

(Do you happen to have mp3s of the YouTube songs?)

...I did not at time of posting, but some judicious exploration of my college network has revealed a couple! Let me get them uploaded for ya.

Children Of Bodom - Oops I Did It Again
Richard Cheese - What's My Age Again

I'll try to get the Raintime song later.

my love for sonata arctica has waned a lot in the past couple of years, but simply seeing this on the reading page reignited something inside of me. i love that cover so much it's unreal, and i'm going to check out the few i haven't heard, thank you!
