The Awesome Covers Thread!
fish across face:
The Advanced Search works. Rather than search on covers I tried "such great heights" because I knew someone would be giving love to Iron & Wine.

Looks like it's been a couple of years though, unless people have stopped raving about that song. :)
Otis Gayle - I'll Be Around (can't beat The Spinners, but it's still so so good)
Shinehead - Billie Jean (with added Morricone references!? Haha... love those super raw drum machine beats)
Curtis Mayfield - We've Only Just Begun
Chaka Khan feat. Melle Mel - I Feel For You (Lolling vid, but can't find the real thing)
Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes
the_pied_piper:
Speaking of The Postal Service
Frank Turner - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
And just to add one more
The Decemberists - Bridges And Balloons
TheFuriousWombat:
Arcade Fire does some decent live covers. They did the Bruce Springsteen song 'State Trooper' quite well. I'm not talking about the version they did with Springsteen since that one's god awful but they've done the song at least once on their own and it's great.
E. Spaceman:
Take Me To The River - Talking Heads, original by Al Green
Take Ecstasy With Me - !!!, Original by The Magnetic Fields
Chromatics - I'm On Fire, original by Bruce Springsteen
Any Way That You Want Me - Spiritualized, original by Chip Taylor but performed by The Troggs
I Found A Reason - Cat Power, Original by the Velvet Underground.
tons more, really
Zingoleb:
There was a commercial out a few years ago where these people did "Sweet Child O' Mine" using sitars and Indian drumming and vocals which was entirely kick ass. Will dig up a link if anyone wants to hear.
