Disturbed - Shout (2000)

Possession - Evans Blue

(and if you like that, check out their cover of "Caught a Lite Sneeze&quot

Every Little Thing She Does is Magic - Ra

(Sorry for the anime, but this one had better sound. Darkspouse laughs every time she hears this song.)

Fiddle and the Drum - A Perfect Circle

(Some might call this sacrilege, but I think this song deserves a minor key harmony)

Cum on Feel the Noise - Quiet Riot

(No cover list would be complete without this. It made the song famous.)
