Covers mostly suck, but occasionally they kick ass. What are some that stand out to you?

Here's a few of my favorites. Not a comprehensive list.
 
While I'm busy pissing off @RoadDawg55 I'll just leave these here:

@AZDuck Johnny Cash Hurt is a great call-out.

Considering the life he lived, can't think of a better song he could have gone out with.
 
Metallica doing Diamonhead's Am I Evil? and it isn't close.
 
Actually it as close. Metallica doing Budgie's Breadfan. Get some fuckers.

Was coming to poast it. Johnny turned that song into his own really. @AZDuck nailed that & Valerie. That Mark Ronson album has 3-4 great covers. Props also for Kate Nash, lovely bird she is.
