- Johnny Cash covering Nick Cave's "The Mercy Seat" - intense and chilling.
- Human Drama covering Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" - the only JD cover ever that exceeds the original.
- Unto Ashes covering "Don't Fear The Reaper" - totally goth, utterly different than the original, and actually hauntingly beautiful.
- Faith and the Muse covering Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" - also better than the original.
- Purr Machine's cover of "Send Me An Angel" - Betsy Martin's voice is incredible.
- Apocalyptica's cover of "Enter Sandman" - so wrong it's right.
- KMFDM covering Madonna's "Material Girl" - same as above!
- Inkubus Sukkubus's cover of "Paint It Black" - goth band, but a pretty straightforward cover, with great female vocals.
I could go on all day........
