We don't really do any covers, but in the past we've done:

Slayer - ...Something off "Live Undead", I forget which one
Dissection - Where Dead Angels Lie

You know, I think that's all we've done.

My band stopped doing covers once we had enough songs of our own but we played

Hate To Say I Told You So - The Hives
Tangy Zizzle - Kyuss
Earache My Eye - Cheech and Chong/Korn
Tourettes - Nirvana
Four Kicks - Kings of Leon

What we do these days is learn like 30 secs of a good song and plant them in the middle of our own songs. That works well and its good fun!
