I'd point out that covers are not legally considered original works and EA has to pay, usually, a higher amount for songs that are older. Legally, Snoop Dogg's cover of Riders on the Storm doesn't have it's own release date. The date is 1971, like it or not.
With that I'm voting for Godsmack's Highway to Hell. Also, Anthrax's cover of TNT. Also, Stigmata covered by Marilyn Manson. Definitely have to have that song.
@NathanLoiselle snoop doggs riders on the storm was a cover of an official remix made by Fredwreck and was released in 2004. which if you do not know remixes have their own release dates, especially when they are official and approved by the label that published the original, if it was not official it would be called a "bootleg" which is against copyright law, but most labels do not care as the bootlegs get their original song more views.
"Snoop Dogg covered the song for the 2004 game, Need For Speed: Underground 2, in a remixed version produced by Fredwreck."
