I'd crucify System of a Down for less than that...

I really really really enjoy Disintegration (The Cure) by Decadence rock

Can't think of any worst...oh wait, Angels by Jessica Simpson.

Tarja Turunen did a good version of Alice Cooper's Poison, and Within Temptation did a good job of Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill.

One by Korn has got to be the very worst cover I've ever heard. They didn't even do the guitar solo FFS.

I really like After Forever's cover of Evil That Men Do by Iron Maiden, and Iron Maiden's cover of Cross-Eyed Mary. I'm also torn between whether or not I think Therion's cover of Summer Night City by Abba is funny or awesome. Or both.

For worst covers, it's hard to not just say Tori Amos. But I'm going to do it anyway.

I think most of my favorites have already been listed, so I'll just list a couple other covers I really enjoy that I don't think have been listed yet:

Dope - You Spin Me Round (like a record)
Dope - Rebel Yell
Marilyn Manson - Personal Jesus & Highway to Hell (and any Manson cover for that matter)
Fozzy has a few decent ones, none exceptional, but several are better than the originals
White Zombie - Children of the Grave
White Zombie - I'm Your Boogieman

Worst
Marilyn Manson - Iron Man
