your favorite covers

The censored version of "These Boots are made for Walkin" done by Megadeth.

Probably the only instance ever of the censored version being superior.
But it's great.

Uh... Led Zeppelin's whole first album is basically a cover album, that's pretty great too.

There are plenty of others, but I'm drawing a blank.

So i was thinking it'd be dope to have a thread to talk about people's favorite cover's whether it be a band doing it, or all these isolated bass versions on youtube for example, cuz there's so many that havin some people pick out good ones would lead to some interesting future renditions.

There's literally thousands out there but i'll start it off, that this dude right here deserves a second of everyone's time. This is really honestly very good:
