Johnny Cash put his own spin on the Nine Inch Nails song.
Tears for Fears - Mad World, covered by Gary Joules and used in the Donnie Darko movie
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus, covered by the great Johnny Cash
Joan Baez - Diamonds and Rust, covered by Judas Priest
Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah, covered by Jeff Buckley
I feel that Metallica did a more than decent job on Bob Seger's Turn The Page
Finally, this voice could not be missing from a list like this

Bad Company covered by Five Finger Death Punch
@TheRedDevil'sAdvocate have you heard Adam Lambert's cover of Mad World? I found it extremely dark and quite good.

I love a good cover version. I had a phase of trying to find foreign language covers of English songs.
These guys also have a few good covers under their belt.

I checked it out and it is quite good indeed. I find it amazing that since Gary Joules transformed the original song, so many artists actually try to cover his version of the song instead of the Tears for Fears one. It really tells you how successful it was. And i agree on Bad Company. I don't like FFDP much but that one was clearly spot on.
You's a bad, baaad man.
Love the original, but love the cover more
Got to have a bit of Aretha
Again, another track where I love both the original and the cover
The Versions album, with the Dap Kings, was fab. This is probably my favourite

For me this is a bad cover. I love FNM but they bring nothing new or interesting to this song. It just seems like Mike Patton wants to prove that he has some R&B chops.
I see Jeff Buckley already got a mention earlier on for his cover of a Leonard Cohen tune.
Well how about a cover of one of his old man's tunes?

I'm a bit out of touch with popular music and for quite a few years I thought this was a Manics Orginal
Amazing considering it's just his voice and a looper, Thom Yorke must hate the fact he spends months in the studio to come up with the sound and this guy can recreate it on the fly.
Good one. Tarja has a beautiful voice.
Anything from this guy really:
And possibly my favourite cover ever:

Isaac Hayes cover of Walk on By is just 
Wanted to post the song myself before, but listening to both...there just wasn't anything that much different between them. Great song, but indeed, bad cover.
Jimi Hendrix all along the watchtower originally by Bob Dylan
/Thread
Best cover of a song ever. TRUTH!
Slash - the Godfather
Perfect song for them really, the power of the main riff really lends itself to metal and Tarja has the chops to pull it off.
