Well there's some great inspiration in these pages, enough to keep my net snowed under with downloads for a while :) As for my favourites:
Elton John and Queen - The Show Must Go On: A Queen track elevated to epic scale by Elton's harsher vocals, the booming orchestra background and sheer volume of noise. I imagine this song used in a war movie in the same way Ride of the Valkyries was used in Apocalypse Now.
Reel Big Fish - Take On Me: My favourite punk/ska cover, for being a great feelgood song and catchy summer ditty.
Metallica - Imperial March: A dark track made darker. Play LOUD.
Nickelback and Kid Rock - Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting: A louder, more ballsy version of the original.
Muse - Feeling Good: See above :)
Edit: Just noticed the Worst covers question. For my part, the very recent cover of Bohemian Rhapsody by G4 officially sucks donky gonads.

A guy covering a song he wrote with another band counts?
In that case, I'll say NIN's cover of Pigface's "Suck." When they do it live, Pigface even plays the NIN arrangement instead of the original.

Actually, this brings up a question. Anyone got any Floyd covers that aren't Another Brick in the Wall or Comfortably Numb? Apart from one reasonably adept cover of 'Money' by a band I don't know that was on the soundtrack to the new Italian Job that's all I've heard.

Primus did a pretty good cover of Pink Floyd's Animals, and the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade did a live of Shine on you Crazy Diamond.

this reminds me of a terrible cover of The Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop, as raped by...
The Beautiful South.
Honestly, it brought a tear to my eye, for all the wrong reasons.
That said, Pedro the Lion's version of Fade into You (Mazzy Star) is rather ace.
