You're entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong you are.

Any cover by Johny Cash. Not yet mentioned is "Solitary Man". I've listened to that a lot over the past week.

Marilyn Manson's cover of "Suicide is Painless", aka the MASH theme, is solid.

+1 on Cake, again, any cover they do. "I Will Survive" is my favorite.

Remembering more - Careless Whisper by Seether is pretty good. Darling Nikki by Foo Fighters. Dirty Diana by Shaman's Harvest. Man this is going to be a good playlist.

Just remembered that there's a Black Sabbath or Ozzy Osbourne cover of the Perry Mason theme song.

I like Metal, so here's some covers geared toward that end of the musical spectrum:

The Absence - Into The Pit (Testament cover)

Anthrax - Keep on Runnin' (Journey cover)

Anthrax - Auf Wiedersehen (Cheap Trick cover)

Crowbar - Dream Weaver (Gary Wright cover)

Crowbar - No Quarter (Led Zeppelin cover)

Opeth - Would? (Alice in Chains cover)

Helloween - From Out of Nowhere (Faith No More cover)

Judas Priest - The Green Manalishi (Fleetwood Mac cover)

Mastodon - Emerald (Thin Lizzy cover)

Fu Manchu - Godzilla (Blue Oyster Cult cover)

Saxon - Ride Like The Wind (Christopher Cross cover, no, seriously, it's awesome)

Testament - Rapid Fire (Judas Priest cover)

Whitesnake - Basically all of their albums after Slide It In are covers of themselves!

Wolf - A Dangerous Meeting (Mercyful Fate cover)

Sleep - Snowblind (Black Sabbath cover)

All that said... my favorite cover of all time is Corrosion of Conformity's version of Black Sabbath's Lord of This World. They absolutely nail it. The drum and guitar sound is absolutely PERFECT; raw, gutteral, and just dirty enough to give it that sludgy stoner goodness the song deserves. It's one of the rare instances where the cover outshines the original, and the original is amazing in it's own right.

Love me some Pomplamoose. You might have heard them a few years back during Christmas time doing some Hyundai commercials with Christmas music. They do a lot of covers/mashups of songs that are really cool and inventive.

Couple of favs:

Lady Gaga's Telephone: https://www.youtube.com/embed/2vEStDd6HVY

Earth, Wind, and Fire's September

I love me some covers- but love mashups more. I wish there were a better vehicle to find really good ones.

Here's my favorite- it was fun listening to my similarly-aged FB friends heads explode when I first discovered and shared it-

Pomdeter: Call Me a Hole (Carly Rae Jephson/NIN mashup)

Not often I have a good suggestion on a thread like this, but I am a big fan of the presidents:

Also, not sure if it fits "rock" or "cover", but this is the best thing Kanye has ever done:

NSFW James Taylor covers DMX.

It's a parody but when I played it at work someone was pissed that DMX was being disrespected with some cracker added E36 M3.

Oh, and how about the Nine Inch Nails covers of Get Down, Make Love and Adam Ant's Physical?
