I thought this would be a pretty fun idea for a thread seeing as I have a ****ing ton of these.
So, starting off:
Eldritch - "My Sharona"
Original artist: The Knack
Genre: Power/thrash metal
[code]http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z1I1SMJI[/code]
:
Kovenant - "The Memory Remains"
Original artist: Metallica
Genre: Industrial metal
[code]http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8EIJDH2Y[/code]
If anyone has a non-metal cover of a song they think would fit here, don't be afraid to go ahead and post it anyway.
I'll upload:
"Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong cover)" by The Meads of Asphodel
"I Surrender (Rainbow cover)" and "Smooth Dancer (Purple Rain cover)" by Concerto Moon
"Holy Diver (Dio cover)" by Otyg
"Deciever (Judas Priest cover)" by Tjolgtjar
"She's Lost Control (Joy Division cover)" by Circle of Ouroborus
and maybe a few more tomorrow or some time soon.
I figure I'll post them and then post the original versions.

There's some Beatles covers. I'll probably post more later.
Someone upload that brutal death metal version of Material Girl.
Oh my, I almost forgot about that one. Who was that again, Exhumed or something?
What about that cover of "Bicycle"? I think Vampy knows what I'm talking about. I forgot who it was by, but I liked it.
Oh yeah, and there's a a metal ABBA album that has Therion and a few other decent artists covering ABBA songs.
Children of Bodom did a cover of "Final Countdown" by Europe.
No upload at the moment since I'm on my brother's computer. If mine gets fixed any time soon I'll get it.

Yeah, Therion covered "Summernight City" for that, but it sucks balls compared to the version on Secret of the Runes.
