Yeah, me too.

I'll wait a while this time before giving this one a go, just in case I've snatched the victory of last few rounds from the jaws of a dozen eager participants, who've then stayed silent in frustration.

[MightyTiny]

Just thought I'd add some video to Phoenixcager's last solution:

Apocalytica has an album of Metallica songs (Video of "Unforgiven"):



Metallica covered "Wonderwall" by Oasis :



Oasis covered "Street Fighting man" by The Rolling Stones (no audio/video found)

Allison Crowe covered "Shine a light" by The Rolling Stones:
