Default doing metal/rock covers of songs

Okay so many metal and rock bands have done covers of songs by other musicians.

So I would like to ask you what songs would you do covers of??

I want to do covers of songs such as danny boy, don't let me be the last to know and I'm so excited.

Cheesy I know but meh any song can be made into a metal anthem right.

I've always thought "Only the Good Die Young" by Billy Joel would make a good cover for a metal band.
Preferably by a band like Metallica or Motorhead.

Just an FYI I fixed up your very annoying and bad grammar. You're welcome.

Just an FYI, I added a comma to your post. You're welcome.

I knew something was bugging me about that comma. I almost put a period at the end, but that didn't seem right. I'm more happy to have my (unasked) question answered than I am shamed. Though I am shamed as well. Why must my grammar nazism be constantly thwarted?

I'm grammar-lexic, and punctuation remissed, but I think I fixed it.
