Good shout on The Fray & Killswitch Engage Krim, both excellent choices.

Perhaps one of the most popular covers of recent years (well in this country anyway), 30 Seconds To Mars cover Kanye West.

You might not like it but I think its pretty good.

I liked that song better when Manson did it.

This. Manson is usually pretty good with covers as a whole.

Yellowcard cover Michelle Branch, and do ten times a better job....

^^ I'd heard of that but had never got around to listening, was a really good cover. Thanks for posting it.

 

[Death Dealer]

Lacuna Coil FTW and Amish Paradise, that is all.

 

[Lover Boy]

I love Amish Paradise, It's a classic.

Richard Cheese does alot of covers in an old school lounge music style. He has 10 albums of them. Too many to list here, so I'll just list a couple of my favorites.

Kanye West's "Stronger"
[video=youtube;opnjIcd4L8M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opnjIcd4L8M[/video]

Disturbed's "Down With the Sickness"
[video=youtube;qNQK3C-ac1w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNQK3C-ac1w[/video]

 

[Postman Dave]

just remembered this Xmas number one from a few years ago. That's right, this was popular AT CHRISTMAS! Michael Andrews & Gary Jules beautiful cover of Tears For Fears "Mad World", also heard in Donnie Darko & Gears of War 3.

[Lover Boy]

Richard Cheese's version of stronger is good but not as good as Kanye's version as Daft Punk did the orginal.
