    Gary Jules-Mad World (better than the Tears for Fears original, IMO)
    Cowboy Junkies- Sweet Jane
    Nirvana-Man Who Sold the World

    I know there are many others I am forgetting, but these are the first to come to mind

    ETA: Jeff Buckley-Halleluja (how could I forget that one!)

    You stole all of mine! No fair!

    BTW, you clearly have excellent taste in music.

    Foo Fighters cover of Band on the Run. I can't listen to it without crankin the chit out of it.

    I often watch Dave Grohl's cover of "Tiny Dancer" on the Craig Kilborne show on YouTube. It's not even that great, hah, but there is something about it that I love.

    Whiskey In the Jar - Metallica

    45 - Shinedown

    There was also one that Pearl Jam covered but now I can't remember the name! It was a song from the 50's I believe about a young couple who's car stalled on railroad tracks and got hit by the train. The girl died.

    Last Kiss - good call

    Yes! THANK YOU! It's been driving me nuts...

    Shinedown's Simple Man

    This, by far is one of the best ever covers, especialy acoustic.

    Simply Red - If You Don't Know Me By Now

    and I could be wrong, but did 311 do a cover of a UB40 song?

    Johnny Cash singing the Nine Inch Nail's song "Hurt." It's heart-wrenching, I cry every time I hear it.

    A distant second is A Perfect Circle's remake of "Imagine."
