The Awesome Covers Thread!

spoon_of_grimbo:
Since "The Terrible Covers Thread!" seems to be taking off, why not have a thread for cover songs that actually don't suck?  The search function keeps going to a "page not found" page whenever I try and use it, but scanning back a few pages in the music sub-forum, I've found nothing recent on the same topic.  I'll kick things off with these:

Jawbox's Cover of Tori Amos' "Cornflake Girl"

Irish rockers Therapy? joined by Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson for a cover of Deep Purple's "Black Night"

Mastodon's slightly-beefed-up-but-mostly-true-to-the-original Cover of Thin Lizzy's "Emerald"

Now-defunct UK metal band Sikth covering Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "Tupelo"

imapiratearg:
Mastodon also did a ZZ Top song for a Myspace covers album that rocked pretty hard.

Also: Dinosaur Jr. doing Peter Frampton at the end of You're Living All Over Me.

Dazed:
Jimi Hendrix doing Dylan's All Along the Watchtower.
Cream doing Robert Johnson's Crossroad Blues.
Led Zeppelin doing Robert Johnson's Travelling Riverside Blues.
Yes doing Simon and Garfunkel's America.
Cake doing Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive. Actually, pretty much anything Cake covers is pretty good.

Cadeonehalf:
You're Wrong.

But Nirvana's cover of Bowie's The Man Who Sold the World is awesome.
Also:
Jimi Hendrix covering the Beatles
Joe Cocker covering the Beatles (I actually prefer this to the original)
Staind covering Tool
and
System of a Down covering Wu Tang Clan

I am not sure if this belongs here but there is no way that I can call this terrible.
