Cross-eyed Mary as done by Clutch. The original isn't that terrible though.

Linoleum as done by Streetlight Manifesto. Just feels better.

Actually that whole Streetlight cover album is fucking fantastic. Specifically this song:

I will always take Johnny Cash over Nine Inch Nails.

But any Anal Cunt cover wins.

I prefer this stripped down with puke metal vocals version. The original is pretty fucking damn good though!!!!

Dead Kennedys- they write great music, but its just not heavy enough for me-

Melvins with the original singer/drunken screamer doing this song extreme justice!

Man, I haven't listened to Streetlight in ages.
I prefer to go the opposite direction with Such Great Heights.
