Nevermore - The Sound Of Silence
Fantomas - Rosemary's baby

The Sound Of Silence is my favourite cover track, its brilliant. Rosemary's Baby is my favourite track of 'The Director's Cut', I love its creepy atmosphere.

I didn't know The Sound of Silence was a cover, but it is awesome! I don't know if I can call it my favorite cover, though, since I've never heard the original song.

The original is pretty awesome as well. Simon & Garfunkal!! :dio:

Nevermore have some pretty crazy - in the good sense - covers. Check out their version of Love Bites (after Priest). And speaking of Priest covers, I think Blind Guardian's cover of Beyond The Realm Of Death is even better than the original.

Better then the orignal?? :blink:

That is on the of their best songs and it's hard for me to imagine that another band plays this better. I will try to find it on the web this evening.

Metalium plays a cover on every album, I heard they did a good job on The Show Must Go On from Queen.

Dragonland - When the rain begins to fall
Cover of the 80's hit from Jermaine Jackson, cool tune.

Heavenly has a version of this on their latest album, Virus. Haven't heard the Dragonland one yet but I'll doubt its as good as Heavenly's version. :cool:
