Metallica's Garage Album

All of the songs they cover are way better than the originals, way better.

I also like when they do Veteran of Psychic Wars.

The version of The Carpenters' hit, "Superstar," sung by "Superfan" (actually Chrissy Hines and Gin Blossoms) that appears ONLY on the "Wayne's World 2" soundtrack is exceptional. With The Pretenders, Hines also covered the song accompanied by Nash Kato of Urge Overkill. It's a good rendition, too.

Blood For Blood covering Motorhead's Ace of Spades was pretty good, imho.



I've also got a whole compilation of punk/hardcore bands covering old Oi! songs.

As others mentioned, Cash's "Hurt" is incredible. Find these, they are pretty moving as well:
