Yes Valerie was originally by The Zutons which no one seems to know. I actually prefer that version. The Jam released a song called Start! which is basically Taxman by the Beatles and is better in my eyes.

Another one I’d include is Mad World by Gary Jules/Michael Andrews, which I prefer over the Tears for Fears original.

Love this version too, was also a Buffy fan. I've always thought that this was by Mazzy Star. Turns out that Mazzy Star never covered this song despite there being links on the web and YouTube.

This needs including in the conversation. Definite upgrade of Thin Lizzy.

I think Mazzy Star’s Fade into You May have also been featured on Buffy.

Before I get to a controversial opinion, I submit that I Prevail did an awesome job with a Taylor Swift song.

Aerosmith's cover of Come Together was better than the Beatles imo. Mostly I just like Steven Tyler's voice and the sound of the instruments better (which can also be said of every other cover of a Beatles song; sorry not sorry).

Five Finger Death Punch has a few bad ass covers too.
