Enjoy The Silence which has been done by It Dies Today and Lacuna Coil and probably others but those are my 2 favorites.

QFT Lacuna Coil did a great cover of Enjoy the Silence, and their song "Closer" (both acoustic and normal) is a great song as well.

On a side note if you like Lacuna Coil, you may like Leave's Eyes, and Within Temptation.

I love the Red Hot Chili Pepper's cover of "Love Rollercoaster". Also, "Tainted Love" and "Ring of Fire" by Social Distortion.

Inspired by Kev's thread; so what is your favorite cover song?

Currently, mine has to be "Hurt" as sung by Johnny Cash.

Hurt done by Kermit the Frog is pretty good too.
