I want to add to my Spotify playing of rock/metal covers, would be grateful for any suggestions. Here's a few examples of what I currently have on there.

Disturbed... pretty much every cover they've done

Nonpoint. When doves cry

State of mine. in the air tonight

Teether, careless whisper

Marilyn mansion. Cry little sister, tainted love and sweet dreams are made of this.

"Hit me with your best shot" ... see what I did there?

Placebo have done a lot of covers, they've actually released a covers album. I love their version of Kate bush's running up that hill.

Another interesting one is toy soldiers, covered by a band called silversun pickups.
