I’m surprised Disturbed’s cover of Genesis/Phil Collins “Land of Confusion” didn’t make the list yet. ---

meh, I can give a rats if anyone else cares for the band or the songs. Blue Monday would fit, but I really never knew of the original till Orgy did their version, so that one may be up in the air. And I actually have both Me First and Richard Cheese’s albums, but I’m looking for rock/metal remakes. ---
