Have you heard the Fireball Ministry version? It's insanely good. They also do a great job with Joe Walsh/Barnstorm's version of "Turn To Stone".

Metal Church - Highway Star (Deep Purple cover)
Fates Warning - Saints In Hell (Judas Priest cover)

...and Iron Savior always do good Judas Priest covers....

And good Iron Maiden covers Or at least one, "Running Free".

It's a Paul Di'Anno solo song from the Metal Christmas project. Google told me that

Death's cover of Painkiller is the absolute best.

i like
Heaven and Hell by enola gay

my favorite cover is by apostle of solitude - electric funeral (black sabbath) imo it is actually better then the original... and this is sabbath we are talking about...

and any cover made by vader is always phenomenal

Decapitated -Mandatory suicide (Slayer) was also an amazing cover
