Recently I have been listening to Johnny Cash albums, and I came across American IV, which has a few covers on it, the ones that stand out for me are the covers of Hurt (NIN) and Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode).

Mine too, I would like to add Rammstein's cover of "Stripped"

Ah. That reminds me. There cover of Anarchy in the UK is brilliant.

Gravelands by The King, whilst not in the top musical echelons, is worth a listen for its comedy value. It's an album of cover versions of dead artists' songs sung in the style of Elvis Presley.

Tortoise Corpse - Delilah (Tom Jones)

Calling all elderly goths - how about:
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A Man After Midnight): The Sisters of Mercy

and the rather more faithful Ziggy Stardust: Bauhaus.

The B52's did a cover of Downtown, and Green Day did too I think.

A friend came round for tea tonight and we were watching my Live Aid dvds which inspired me to add to this thread Bryan Ferry's Jealous Guy.
