Killswitch Engage's cover of Dio's Holy Diver is the best cover I've heard so far. Adding the Killswitch Engage sound without changing the song itself. Flawless. So Flawless that I can listen to Killswitch Engage's version and Dio's original version and like them both equally.

I couldn't really comment on Killswitch Engage's version, I have seen it on scuzz and Kerrang a few times. Being of a certain age I used to have most of Dio's albums on vynyl including Holy Diver. A brilliant voice, Mystery and Hungry for heaven are my favourites, he was the best singer in Rainbow I would arue as well.

Have to say I also liked Type O Negative's covers of Hush-Deep Purple and Cinnamon Girl, but I can't remember who originally did that.

The original Cinnamon girl according to Wiki was by Neil Young off the everybody knows this is nowhere album. Strange thing is and I kid you not one of my favourite lecturers at uni who I am still in touch with is called Cinnamon. I called her the sixth Spice Girl but not to her face I might add!!

I really like Disturbed's cover of Genesis' Land of Confusion. They also did a bang up job on Tears for Fear's Shout.

Smooth Criminal is a good choice. My personal favorite is Otep's Not to Touch the Earth. I love the original too, but I thought Otep added more intensity and atmosphere to the piece. The intro has made me jump more than once.

Heart - without you three dog night - one soft cell - tainted love Yep Soft Cell's tainted love was a good cover, as was Marolyn Manson's of the same song
