What's Your Favourite Cover Version?

KMFDM found a way to make Material Girl sound creepy as ****.

Blood Duster somehow makes Drink,Fight,**** a hell of a lot more fun than GG did. I think its mostly because how dirty and old-school the guitar riffs are as opposed to the punky original. Let's go mothafuckas!

Not heard that KMFDM cover before. It's good.

Ministry released a cover album last year and here is one of the delights:

and this is still absolute class:

I think Apoptygma Berzerk does a pretty good job of Bizarre Love Triangle too. The original sounds far too upbeat for the lyrical content.

I also think Stabbing Westward did the song some justice. Not quite as good as Apoptygma Berzerk's but its right on par with New Order's.

One of the most disappointing covers I've ever heard. I actually expected Manson to do something with this that deviated from the original while keeping it the same-ish. Instead he just cloned the song and added a hint of atonality.

I like their cover of Metallica's Fade to Black myself.

Is it wrong that I prefer this to the original?
