The Deftones did a cover of say it ain't so by Weezer that kicked a lot of ass. Gary Jules did Mad World by Tears for Fears. So far Hole is the only band that's been able to fuck up a Nirvana song and although it's been said before The Man Who Sold the World was amazing.

So many song titles... my shift finger hurts.

Strange Famous

Possibly Frank Sinatra's version of "Mrs Robinson"

I like a few of Manson's covers, Tainted Love and KKK took My Baby Away.

Also Converge's cover of Snowblind is pretty good.

Whiskey in the Jar - Metallica --- originally by Thin Lizzy

Mrs. Robinson - Lemonheads --- you know who did it originally

thales

I love Fountain of Wayne's version of Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time", but that's already been mentioned. I also am a big fan of all the covers from the Nirvana Unplugged album, but those too have already been mentioned.

I guess the best not already mentioned is Toad the Wet Sprocket's version of The Beatles "Hey Bulldog".

mamasan

Pearl Jam covering Neil Young's Rockin in the Free World
Eddie Vedder covering the Beatle's Hide Your Love Away
Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready covering Dylan's Masters of War
-come to think of it any cover Pearl Jam did, except for Last Kiss. Oh, and for the people that didn't know who originally recorded it, it was J. Frank Wilson and the Caveliers.

Radiohead covering Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl

Metallica covering Lynyrd Skynyrd's Tuesday's Gone

There's some more that I just can't think of now. But the WORST cover of all-time and Fred Durst should be murdered for covering this great and beautiful song is his version of The Who's Behind Blue Eyes.

Dane Bramage

Yeah... no doubt. Michael Hedges was great. His version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is just excellent. That guy was a true talent.

About half of the Greatful Dead's tunes were covers. Just to name a few of my favs...

When I Paint my Masterpiece
Tangled up in Blue
Baba O'Riley
Gimme Some Lovin
Watchtower
Going Down the Road Feeling Bad
Second that Emotion

The list goes on and on.

jordan_is_god

my favorite cover would have to be korn doing metallica's one at the mtv icon thingy... metallica was standing up and bowing to korn as the rocked it better than metallica ever could... cant wait for korns next album... nothing but covers

whocarz

A couple more:
Reel Big Fish - 99 Red Balloons
Dope - Spin Me Right Round

Otherwise, I dislike both bands.

Redlemon

I'm pretty sure you are thinking of Goldfinger, who did a kick-ass version of 99 Red Balloons. I don't think RBF has covered this one.

moonpie

My fav is Mushroomhead's cover of Seal's "Crazy". Listen to it all the time. Just.Simply.Amazing.

Rawrr

I'm really liking

Chimaira - Fascination Street
