[Manuel Noriega]

 

[Day of the Cope]

Disturbed, specifically their frontman David Draiman, get a lot of shit. However, it's hard to deny their cover of The Sounds of Silence doesn't have a lot of power and emotion to it.

 

[Toji Suzuhara]

You already know what it is

[Ed Special]

I know Daniel Avidan's kind of a cow, but fuck if he isn't actually a very talented singer when he isn't trying his hardest to be Discount Bin Jack Black. If Under The Covers was the standard for NSP and not the exception, he'd probably actually have a career.

Live For Tomorrow - I Found A Way (Drake & Josh Theme Song Cover)​

Phish's cover of Velvet Underground's sweet jane. They do some pretty solid covers of a lot of songs, worth checking out if you're not into their jamband material but are interested in hearing them play something more structured. They got some good covers of Ween songs too

 

[Nameless One]

God Lives Underwater - Fly On The Windscreen (original mix)
Depeche Mode cover. Good at clubs.

[Pedophobe]

Some may call this a gimmick but it still slaps

This one from the same album is pretty good too

Edit: fuck YouTube

Prettiest cover for sure, honestly deftones have a lot of great covers.

Anyways another cover, here is CHEVELLE's cover of (High) Visibility by HELMET. Really displays how much inspiration they drew from helmet. Also just realized it loops pretty well lol.
