best cover songs

ssooooooooo..what cover songs do you think are the best

i thought weezers cover of hit me baby one more time was pretty funny, but for actual quality off the top of my head id say the chauffeur by the deftones covering duran duran, it has this really infectious guitar melody in it that you want to listen to over and over again.

Anything off of "Renegades". 🙂

jeff buckley :hallelujah (leonard cohen)
jeff buckley: calling you (jevetta steele)
jose gonzalez: heartbeats (the knife)
jose gonzalez: love will tear us apart (joy division)
counting crows: the ghost in you (psychedelic furs)

AFI's live cover of "Just Like Heaven" (by the Cure), is probably one of the best covers I've heard.

Watch the performance and tell me what you guys think:

I thought Personal Jesus covered by Marilyn Manson was pretty sweet, as well as Sweet Dreams.

I also like Social Distortion's Ring of Fire.

Just to be the average Tool fan, i'm going to say No Quarter by Tool (cover of a Led Zeppelin song)

All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix.

He more or less made it his own song.
