Cradle of Filth totally ruined Iron Maiden's Hallowed be Thy Name. A band named The Showdown did a decent cover of Kansas' Carry On, Wayward Son, off the album Temptation Come My Way.

Don't know about that one but I'll ask my brother, he's a big Marc Almond fan.

yes, but there was a whole album of Hammill covers by Mark Almond which I almost bought once, and I can't find it anymore

I have found a live version of Vision: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk4RYdhh34A

I did a search too, with the same result. but I am absolutely sure about it

Marc Almond of Soft Cell recorded an album which consisted exclusively of Peter Hammill covers in the late 80s or early 90s. I have forgotten the name though; I only picked it up because I read the name "Hammill" on it. there were 12-14 songs on it, if I remember right. I almost bought it out of curiosity, but then thought I'd rather not

Shatner is just the artist who keeps on giving.  But the thing about the Rocketman cover is that it suckers you into thinking time and again that it can't get any worse, and then suddenly it does.

My nomination for most inane cover is William Shatner's rendition of Rocket Man at a 1978 science fiction award ceremony.  Don't follow the link unless ye be brave and pure of heart.
 


I don't know, Shatner's cover of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds is pretty bad too.

Of coarse it does not have EVERY cover, but a pretty good database.

Saxon (a NWOBHM legend) made a great version of The Court Of The Crimson King (it appears on the album "Killing Ground")

Entombed (swedish death metal band) made their version of 21st Century Schizoid Man (probably it's not even more brutal than the original...)


... but there are many more...
