    Howard Jones (of Killswitch Engage of course) picked his "Top 5 Favorite Cover Songs" and his list is up above. So I decided to make this into a thread and get your opinions on your list of cover songs. Top 5 of course to go along with the video.

    5. Land of Confusion - Disturbed (Genesis)
    4. Turn the Page - Metallica (Bob Seger)
    3. How I Could Just Kill A Man - Rage Against the Machine (Cypress Hill)
    2. Whiskey in the Jar - Metallica (Unknown)
    1. Holy Diver - Killswitch Engage (Dio)

    That's how the list should go if you make one. HAVE AT IT!
