A couple come to mind....

Metallica do many great covers, the one I like the most is Last Caress

Megadeths version of Paranoid by Black Sabbath is brilliant.

Finally, Pennywise do a version of Land Down Under that leaves Men at Works version in the bin where it belongs.

Was just driving home from work, flicking through the stations and heard someone or band doing a cover of Careless Whisper - Wham

Sorry but as much as you try and amp it up and scream the lyrics, it's still a gay song :ymsick:
