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.
