Ignoring the adolescent flame-fest of previous posts, I propose
1. Bauhaus - Ziggy Stardust
2. Type O Negative - Day Tripper / If I Needed Someone / I Want You (She's So Heavy)
3. Rob Zombie - Children of the Grave
4. Nine Inch Nails - Dead Souls
5. Johnny Cash - Thirteen
Hard to pick just five, but a cover song should be a unique, sometimes better interpretation than the already superb original. And I tried to pick 5 with a "horror" theme, be it overt reference or mere camp.
