Exhorder - Into The Void (shit, the heaviest version of my fav Sabbath song ever) Thanks for reminding me that, Skul! And in the same category: Sacred Reich - War Pigs.

Iron Maiden - Cross-Eyed Mary (Jethro Tull)
Metallica (a fine cover band) - The Prince (Diamondhead)
The Ramones - I Don't Wanna Grow Up (Tom Waits)

Something weird:
Ruins - L'homme à tête de chou (a crazy grindcore version of a Gainsbourg song by a japanese duo, from the "Great Jewish Music" tribute album)

I've found it! Forward to death (DK) performed by Nomeansno! It's the best cover i've ever heard.

Soundgarden - Into The Void
Arch Enemy - Starbreaker
Children Of Bodom - Silent Scream
Slayer - Dissident Aggressor
The Accused - Lights Out
Metallica - The entire first Garage Days E.P.

This list is full of surprises. I didn't know that Motörhead have covered "Enter Sandman"! It must sound weird, to say the least...

Hey Cockroach, you're tight about Nomeansno: their version of DK's "Forward to Death" is hilarious and very original too.

Some other great cover tunes you guys reminded and which I left off of my list: Devo playing "Satisfaction" and Slayer doing "Dissident Aggressor".

I also enjoyed Sepultura's recent version of U2's "Bullet the Blue Sky". Really awesome! Most of you probably still haven't listened to it as the "Revolusongs" CD is yet to be released in North America. It's worth checking it out.

No sir, it's not, you forgot two of 'em (ok, well three)

Metallica - Phantom Lord
DRI - Snap / I'd rather Be Sleeping (both in the same, since they're short songs... Scott Ian on vocals)

Those were also on singles, and phantom lord was also on the ECW cd.

Criminally I've forgotten what is my favourite cover song of all time (so far), and one of my top 5 favourite songs:

LAIBACH - Opus Dei (life is life).

The original is, I think, from an Italian disco-music group, or something. Can someone help me on this?

And they did a cover of Jesus Christ Superstar, too. It is pretty weird.
