Some of the most famous songs of all time are cover songs. I am usually shocked when I hear some are covers, since the person who covered it actually made it popular. Post up your favorites...
The Clash - I Fought the Law

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver

System of a Down - Dammit
