I forgot, best ever is Gin and Juice by the Gourds, totally unique take on a Snoop Dogg classic. You can't not smile when you listen to it!

I'm not a huge Pink fan but her cover of Me and Bobby McGee is pretty damn good.

I've got a whole playlist of good and interesting covers on my ipod....a couple of my favorites:
Rivethead doing 'Run Like Hell' (Pink Floyd)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTsPM6fO_2w
...and also doing 'Sexy Back', a song I hated until I heard their version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk0V7n9Q8f0
And perhaps the most interesting, a cover of a song I didn't think could be covered, 'Tom Sawyer' as done by Deadsy:

I heard a PJ version of the Clash's Straight to Hell the other day and it was solid!

A few good ones from Nirvana Unplugged including Man Who Sold the World and Where did you sleep last night. The absolute pain in Kurt's voice at the end of the later is haunting.

Here's some favourites
Volbeat - making believe http://youtu.be/64rWXQORpA8
Volbeat - I'm so lonesome http://youtu.be/o2bvEkBT9XI
Gold finger - 99 red balloons http://youtu.be/5QYIlgRg9TY
Sarah mclachlan - ol55 http://youtu.be/rRdP0ud4UKo
Was going to add captain tractor's London calling, couldn't find a good video
Someone mentioned gin&juice by the gourds; that was a good one.
For those of you who want something different, a guy named Dan Henig has a cover of the new macklemore song thrift shop that's pretty decent. Actually gets in your head pretty good for a guy with a guitar and a mic. Won't post the link due to lyrics.
But this one is well produced, give it a try http://youtu.be/vsvlsuLau5c

When the original artists give you a standing ovation you've probably done something right.

A few of my fav covers are Johnny Cash's version of Hurt by NIN or his version of Tom Petty's Won't Back Down

Shatner
Just about anything William Shatner covers is gold (in its own way), but his version of Pulp's "Common People" is awesome.
