I like....

The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby

Since I heard "Changes (The Way It Is)" by Tupac, I love that version of the song (even though it isn't really a cover, but still...

rufus wainwright's cover of "Across the Universe" by the beatles

Hit Me Baby One More Time by G4 on X Factor. Absolutely hilarious, especially the little chubby one on the end

[vkceankraz]

Oh, this is going to sound silly... but I really like the BeeGee's "Emotions" covered by Destiny's Child.
Unlike rock bands covering songs, this one isn't destroyed.

Holding out for a Hero sounds great when re-done by Frou Frou but before it was bleh.

[AFI_Sorrow]

Will You Still Love me Tomorrow- Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies
Reel Big Fish- Take on Me
Element 101- Like A Bird
Totalimmortal- Offspring (What can I say? It's a cover of AFI, of course it's going to be good!)
AFI- Halloween

[SpiraLethe]

I have to agree with some you:

"99 Red Balloons" - Goldfinger
Anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Great cover band.

Some that haven't been mentioned:

"Close to Me" (The Cure) - The Get Up Kids
Speed Racer Theme (somebody) - Sponge
"Ceremony" (Joy Division) - Galaxie 500
"Always Something There to Remind Me" (Naked Eyes) - Marvelous 3
"Sweet Dreams" (Eurythmics) - Marilyn Manson
"Blue Monday" (New Order) - Orgy. I haven't heard this song in ages, I just remember it to be good.

There's more that I can't think of.

Dancing with myself - Blink 182

I need to hear that! I love the original.

[Igg]

Independent Woman by Elbow is great

[AFI_Sorrow]

Oh also another great cover song by Blink-182...

Jenny (8675309)

and I believe they also did Phantom of the Opera, if I'm not mistaken.

I've only heard The Phantom of the Opera by Me First And The Gimme Gimmes
The album is called Me First And The Gimme Gimmes Are A Drag and it's covers of songs from musicals.

[Silja]

Well, Angels by Robbie Williams is not too shabby.. though not my favorite song.. but perhaps by favorite cover... I think... maybe!

Geez, can't think of any other cover songs I really like at all.

Oh, now I know! I really like Janet Jackson's cover "Got Til It's Gone", that's a cover

[Fiddelysquat]

Time After Time - The Dolbyettes
Boys of Summer - The Ataris
Changes - Butterfly Boucher (with David Bowie, of course)
You Belong to Me - Jason Wade
Morning has Broken - Cat Stevens (it was an old religious song written by Eleanor Farjeon)

[Ammer]

Independent Woman by Elbow is great

Is that a remake of the Destiny Child song? Or did Destiny Child remake that?
