Some great stuff here - i particularly like Bauhaus.

More please and please veer away from the punk - i think it confuses the tread (although i do love it!!!)).

Apolcalyptica are so brilliant! This thread has got me digging around for all my fave covers, but there are so many that I'll just have to list some of them, in no particular order:

This Mortal Coil - Song to the siren
Siouxsie & the Banshees - Dear Prudence
Lemonheads - Mrs Robinson
Cradle of Filth - Temptation (Heaven 17)
Placebo - Running up that Hill
The Fall - Theres a ghost in my house
Anything by the Shire Horses

& one of the best: Patty Smith - Gloria
