Do you guys have examples of very good (maybe even better than the original) or very bad cover versions of songs?

The vocal track is awesome, no doubt about it. The music simply doesn't work with awkwardly hurried timing. I like the part beginning at 1:12, but again I *am* a fan of Devin Townsend.
I guess this album hits close to home for me. I've spent a lot of time trying to convince a particular individual in my life (a jazz snob) that metal is a legitimate and respectable form of music. Presenting him with this album would be like throwing in the towel, but maybe I should.
