This is a list of 13 of the best cover songs ever made.  Not in any particular order.
The number of Beatles songs was unintentional


Spineshank - While My Guitar Gently Weeps (The Beatles)

This is pretty rocking while staying pretty true to the original.

Natalie Merchant - Space Oddity (David Bowie)

Natalie Merchant has a very unique voice which compliments this very unique song very well.

Ozzy Osbourne - Working Class Hero (John Lennon)

"There's room at the top they are telling you still,  But first you must learn how to smile as you kill"  ... I like this version much better than the Greenday version.

Collide - White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane)

Trippy song is trippy.

Gary Jules - Mad World (Tears for Fears)

From the Donnie Darko soundtrack, takes the song to another level.

Johnny Cash - Hurt (Nine Inch Nails)

This song is so amazing, it'll probably be on every list it qualifies for.

Graveworm - Losing My Religion (R.E.M.)

Get beyond the vocals and this brutal cover is pretty true to the original.

Beseech - Gimme Gimme Gimme (ABBA)

This is just an amazing cover.

The Corrs & Bono - Summer Wine (Lee Hazlewood & Suzi Jane)

Made popular by Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, this is an excellent live cover.

Metallica - Last Caress (The Misfits)

Short and sweet Metallica took this song and made it their own.

Motley Crue - Helter Skelter (The Beatles)

I love this cover... it's totally 80's glam but is so much fun.

Godhead - Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles)

Another Beatles cover, this one rocks my socks.

Seasons After - Cry Little Sister (Gerard McMann)

From the Lost Boys soundtrack, this takes the dark haunting song and makes it rockin'
