Thanks, ChiliD - totally forgot about the Melvins' version!

Agree, it's pretty cool - they clearly "get" the song while the better-known Judas Priest version completely misses the mark.
And, from Wikipedia, here are other Green Manalishi cover versions:
The song was covered by the Melvins on their 1999 album The Maggot.
The song was covered by Steel on their 1998 Heavy Metal Machine EP.
The song was covered by Arthur Brown on the 1997 tribute album, "Rattlesnake Guitar: The Music of Peter Green."
The song was covered by Therion, though they were actually covering Judas Priest's version.
The song was covered by Ian Parker on his 2005 live album ...Whilst the Wind.
The song was covered by Corrosion of Conformity on their 1983 album Eye for an Eye.
Just noticed that the Wikipedia article states that Fleetwood Mac recorded "The Green Manalishi" and "World in Harmony" in April 1970 - in Hollywood. Ummm....I don't think so.
