I was going to answer to a Broken's post on the Music Box thread but I realized that cover songs is a good enough subject for its own thread. So:
hmmm... As a die-hard old metal fan, in general I would like metal covers of good songs, but... this cover kills the atmosphere of the original, as it is common with many Metallica's covers. As far as their covers go, this is the one I like the most (or dislike the less). They pick extremely well the songs they do (or we happen to have a very similar taste), but I usually don't like the result. Their greatest character assassination IMO is Thin Lizzy's Whiskey in the Jar (no, I won't post a link of the cover).
Within the metal covers, one of my favorites:
Judas Priest cover of Joan Baez Diamonds and Rust
Following the chain, Joan Baez Cover of Leonard Cohen Famous Blue Raincoat
(and this is one I like the cover WAY more than the original).

When i got home today i learnt some of the riffs of a black metal song "Key to the Gate" by Burzum, then i watched some of Varg's guitar playing vids, it's very funny how he's apologizing nonstop about his messups (i'll post some in the normal music section, they are tons of fun) then in the evening i went back to Newton Family, i've been psycho about them for days, i'm having so much fun watching the clips, concerts, comparing lyrics of diff lang versions, etc 
He's a cool person..... His movie appearances are also great
