Yeah, yeah, I'm a purist, too, but everyone's got at least one. I don't have many, but I've got two covers of Rhianna's "Umbrella" that I love (by All Time Low and Lillasyster), despite the fact that I hate Rhianna with a passion.
And, I gotta admit, it doesn't compare to the original, and I usually, for some completely unknown reason, dislike when girls sing Beatles songs (it doesn't make any sense, because I'm a girl), but Across the Universe's version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" is pretty adorable.

my mom is really into chris isaak so i remember her listening to wicked game a bunch growing up, and i remember really digging that song (and i still do), but then one day i heard a metal-ish version of it by some band called HIM, and since them i've become a big fan of HIM and i prefer there version

Sometimes I just like covers because they make me chuckle like Local H's version of Toxic (there's one I like better than the original). I have a whole playlist of covers. It's kinda a guilty pleasure sorta thing.
No, I know what you mean - I love covers. It's just that I rarely like them better than the original. In a different way, maybe, but rarely more. I have Local H's version of Toxic, actually. I have a whole album of metal covers of Britany Spears songs. Cracks me up, every time one of them comes up on my Zune.
