The Disturbed cover is a remake of ....

Believe it or not....

Tears for Fears

I like the Ataris remake of Boys of Summer, originally by Don Henley, simply b/c it is a faster version of it....

Echo and the Bunneymen did a great remake of People are Strange back in 88(?) for the Lost boys Soundtrack, orginally done by the doors....
