I really like Sepultura's version of Orgasmatron.

All Along the Watch Tower - Jimi Hendrix

I know there is more, but I can't think of any.

Another Brick in the Wall - Kron was pretty good, not better then PInk Floyds.

agreed.

also, i think Rage Against The Machine's version of Renegades Of Funk is better than Afrika Bambatta's (Sp?).

i'm not sure whether i like josé gonzales' version of heartbeats or The Knife's better, they're both so different, i like them both, but i think the majority would prefer José gonzales' ? i dunno.
