    Ah, you can’t do the Marilyn Manson cover of tainted love, that was an awful copy of what Deathline International did with it years before:

    Within Temptation actually did a whole album of covers, for a Belgian radio station I think.

    Depends on whether you class U2 as ‘non-rock’

    Been pondering this, and I think I’ve got the definitive rock cover of a non rock song!

    Original as it ought to sound

    Glad the Rage covers have been mentioned, personal faves from that album are Renegades, Street Fighting Man and Maggie’s Farm.

    On a similar vein, Deftones have done a fair few covers – whole album here;

    Not a band I normally have much time for, but gotta love Limp Bizkit’s version of George Michael’s Faith

    Another one in the guilty pleasure camp…

    Steel panther – I want it that way
    Celdweller – tragedy
    Joey ramone – wonderful world
    A day to remember – since u been gone
    Placebo – daddy cool
    Fall out boy- beat it
    New found glory – kiss me
    Reel big fish – take on me
    The Ataris – boys of the summer
    Me first and the gimme gimmes – sloop john B

    And if you want to try a switcheroo, Paul anka’s Rock swings cover album is a giggle.

    I’ll put links up tomorrow if work isn’t busy 🙂
