Tell me some good cover songs???!
Question: I'm trying to compile a covers playlist. The songs don't have to be better than the original. Tell me the song, band that covered it and the artist that did it first. Any rock songs are good, but I prefer hard rock and metal.
Cheers in advance \m/(>.<)\m/
