Forgot one more, Killswitch Engage = Holy Diver

LOL, I'll have to look for that one. Dio is one of my guilty pleasures.

Tom Waits' cover of the Ramones' "Return of Jackie and Judy."

The Ramones' cover of Tom Waits' "I Don't Want To Grow Up"

EDIT: Oh, and Cake's take on Gloria Gaynor...

That's right, I agree on Cake!

The Cake cover is outstanding.  Is Cake still around?

Cracker's cover of Jerry Garcia's "Loser" was a nice one.

Don't you always feel bad when you find out years after the fact that a song you love isn't the original (when you assumed it was).
Yup

Just heard Foo Fighters cover of the Wings "Band on the Run"

It's very similar in the beginning but at 1:18 they put their touch on it.

I love this song very much. Flogging Molly's cover of "Delilah"
