I was gonna post this as one of the songs ruined by its cover.

No worries....everyone's tastes are different.

Slayer did Iron Butterfly's Inna Gadda Divita for the Less Than Zero soundtrack. It is pretty badass.

"Alien Ant Farm" ass-fucked "Smooth Criminal" for their 15 seconds of fame... I remember they made me cringe to hear the title associated with these asshats.

Johnny Cash owns this song.

THIS is an awesome cover. And you know why? Because while you can tell it's Motorhead, they didn't go nuts and turn it into a full on Motorhead tune, or otherwise try to make the song something it's not. They played the damn song, and they played it well.

Personally, I like both the Maiden AND Clutch version more than the Jethro Tull original.

I like "Turn the Page" By Bob Seger better than the Metallica cover. The Metallica cover Is damn good as a Heavy version of the song, but I grew up on the Bob Seger version.
