A ton of stuff from Metallica's Garage Inc. probably belongs in here, as well as whatever other metal band has put out an album of covers. Helloween did one. They covered Hocus Pocus. Check out how kickass it was right now:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=libSTHaE80A

And here's the other ones they did. Sort out the ones that were metal to begin with yourself.
1 He's a Woman, She's a Man [Scorpions] 3:16
2 Locomotive Breath [Jethro Tull] 3:58
3 Lay All Your Love on Me [Abba] 4:38
4 Space Oddity [David Bowie] 4:54
5 From Out of Nowhere [Faith No More] 3:21
6 All My Loving [The Beatles] 1:45
7 Hocus Pocus [Focus] 6:45
8 Faith Healer [The Sensational Alex Harvey Band] 7:10
9 Juggernaut [Frank Marino] 4:51
10 White Room [Cream] 5:48
11 Mexican [Babe Ruth] 5:48

The best metal cover of a non metal song that I've heard BY FAR is Iron Maiden's version of Cross Eyed Mary (Jethro Tull).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qabCFbC-y8I
I never hear anyone talk about it. It annoys me.
More Maiden
I Can't See My Feelings - Budgie
My Generation - The Who
Doctor Doctor - UFO
Massacre - Thin Lizzy
Rainbow's Gold - Beckett
Kill me Ce Soir - Golden Earring
Space Station #5 - Montrose
Communication Breakdown - Led Zeppelin
I'm a Mover - Free
All In Your Mind - Stray
I've Got The Fire - Montrose
King of Twilight - Nektar

Bile-The copy Machine album, not really metal, more industrial distortion kind of music, they do a great cover of love stinks on there.

Metallica Garage Inc albums for the most part cover none metal songs...

These probably aren't what you are looking for, but I thought I should add them, I would check out the Bile album for sure if you don't have to pay for it...
