several times but my moods change) and tonight I'm thinking "The May Who Sold the World" - Nirvana.

9. Shout, as covered by Disturbed.
A song like that needs the metal behind it, and Disturbed did it well

I also have to give and honorable mention to "Possession" as done by Evans Blue. Not particularly because it's "the best cover ever", but because it's hilarious to hear a guy sing that song when you know the story behind it.
