Seether - Careless Whisper
I know and like that song because of Seether.
Was going to post this if I didn't see it in the comments. Glad it was already there. Such a great cover
Maybe more metal-adjacent, but amazing: Everytime We Touch - Electric Callboy

Okay I don't really like Cradle of Filth but my husband does. But I really really like their cover of Iron Maiden's "Hallowed Be Thy Name." Somehow the cover has more energy than the original.
If that floats your boat, give Fear of the Dark by Graveworm a listen. Iron Maiden lends itself really well to dark metal.
Rainbow in the dark by Corey Taylor and The Last In Line by Tenacious D. A lot of songs in that Dio tribute album's pretty good.
Yeah that Tenacious D cover is so good. The Halestorm cover on that same album is also a banger. Halestorm in general does great covers, I love their cover of Ride the Lightning
A Static Lullaby - Toxic (not a big fan of the yelling in this case tho)

This cover of Gangnam Style is one I've always enjoyed.
Halocene's cover of Unholy is pretty good as well.

Most songs by Leo are pretty good
I particularly like Unholy from him.
Unstoppable - Red, original by Sia
Vivaldi Djent - Roma Ivakov
Rising force by hammerfall
Full disclosure, I'm not a metalhead by any means, and Metallica isn't always considered pure metal, but this one hits just right.

It's from a whole album of their metal covers.

Type O Negative - Summer Breeze. Particularly poignant after Peter's passing.
