- Johnny Cash - 'Hurt' (original by NIN)
- Pain Of Salvation - 'Yellow Raven' (original by The Scorpions)
- Transatlantic - 'The Return Of The Giant Hogweed' (original by Genesis)
- Marilyn Manson - 'Tainted Love' (original by Gloria Jones but done in the style of Soft Cells version)
- Pink - 'I Touch Myself' (original by The Divinyls)
* on a side note...
Manson seems to do a LOT of covers... and that Pink cover can be seen on her Funhouse DVD.

So you are not implying the original versions of these songs are bad? Good, because if you're calling Genesis's Return of the Giant Hodweed a bad song I'd have to kick your head clean off your body.
Also, I like Cash but I think his cover of Hurt is overrated, I still prefer the original.
