pomplamoose does a lot of great, kinda quirky covers like this one: my favorite things
i am a sucker for nataly dawn's voice and also her face maybe welp
also madeleine peyroux (another lovely voice) has a pretty sexy rendition of dance me to the end of love, probably the only leonard cohen cover i've enjoyed more than the original

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAhFUXOxm_w -Eleanor Rigby - Thrice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdK_pNq3zRI -Such Great Heights - Streetlight Manifesto
You really need to check out all of 99 Songs of Revolution Vol. 1 by Streetlight. All amazing covers except for, ironically, when they cover their own song.

This isn't my favourite cover by any means but it's certainly... interesting.

Machine Head - Battery (Metallica Cover)
Awesome band covering an awesome song, by another awesome band.
Arch Enemy - Symphony of Destruction (Megadeth Cover)
Don't listen to Arch Enemy much, but I like Megadeth, and this is a good cover.
Nightwish - Symphony of Destruction (Megadeth Cover)
This one is also good.
Vader - Fight Fire with Fire (Metallica Cover)
Vader is a great death metal band, and they really made a thrash song sound more like death metal, which is pretty cool, considering this is one of my favorite metallica songs.
Vader - Raining Blood (Slayer Cover)
Vader once again, Raining Blood is my favorite Slayer song, so why not?
Children of Bodom - Aces High (Iron Maiden Cover)
Children of Bodom is my favorite death metal band, and I liked Iron Maiden, soooo....
Children of Bodom - Oops I did It Again (Britney Spears Cover)
They did this cover as a joke.
Van Canto - Master of Puppets (Metallica Cover)
This is really more funny than anything else.
Van Canto - Battery (Metallica Cover)
This too.

Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright (originally Leonard Cohen)
And either Bicycle Race or Kickstart my Heart - Between the Buried and Me (originally Queen and Moetley Cruee respectively)

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
In my opinion the best version of this song.
Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust
I love pretty much all of the songs Judas Priest have covered. There's just something about turning an old Joan Baez folk song into something else that sounds cool. :)
Realm - Eleanor Rigby
I'm not even a Beatles fan but I just love this.

Judas Priest - Johnny B. Goode
A personally favorite. mainly because it's fun as hell to play.
Raintime - Beat It
It doesn't top Van Halen in terms of solo but it gives it that rough metal feel while still keeping the original tone.
Whiskey in the Jar - Metallica
This one's recently got in my head. Maybe it's that irish lick.

I never was a fan of Garage Inc. I prefer Thin Lizzy's take on the traditional Irish song and Thin Lizzy in general over Metallica. The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited in my opinion are Metallica's best covers.
Time After Time, as covered by Spoken. I love it. We're doing a similar rendition at a concert on the 25th.
Cozy Powell - Over the Top which covers 1812 Overture, skip to 5:25 f you hate long progressive introductions but are still dumb enough to click this?
Wait, what the fuck? I thought that was an original.
Also, to stay on topic:
HIM covering Chris Isaak's Wicked Game. I've had this song stuck in my head for a good week now.
Tool covering Led Zeppelin's No Quarter. In my top 5 favorite Zep songs, and I even like this version better than the original.
Ray LaMontagne covering Gnarls Barkley's Crazy. Oh fuck i want to do his voice
Streetlight Manifesto - Sick and Sad (originally played by Catch 22)
Ska punkish sort of music, I prefer this version because it sounds so much more lively

The original is from 'Slade' I think
Anyway :U
Anarchy in the UK by Megadeth

Ever wanted to see Welcome to the Jungle played on cellos?
And Chrono Trigger fans might appreciate this.

doing this off of memory and some of them might have already been mentioned
Nevermore covering Simon & Garfunkel's The Sound of Silence:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uG7sd-YPmE
really cool cover, it just completely reinvents the song; the vocals here are even better than Warrel usually is too.
Coroner have covered both the Beatles' I Want You (She's So Heavy) and Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qamBmWt8Cwo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIRGHa75rKE
Ghost's cover of the Beatles' Here Comes the Sun. i'm not a fan of the Beatles themselves at all, but this cover is fucking haunting:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8oFlXnnwKI
Voivod and Entombed both performed covers of King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLjZSyu236s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPblm6_Uh4U
Entombed's cover of Repulsion's Black Breath is pretty sick too:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGPsLnGyZsM
Napalm Death covered Slaughter's Incinerator:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUkrLeQvjfc
Vader have always been pretty decent at covers, here's Merciless Death by Dark Angel and Black Metal by Venom:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5m_ovoOmKQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gINbJt65184
i won't link their cover of Depeche Mode's IFY since i don't think it's good, but it's really fucking weird.
Solstice did a pretty fun cover of Carnivore's SMD:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwWHdYpPRjs (the beginning is the original song btw)
Converge did two killer covers, one of Vio-lence's Serial Killer and another of Depeche Mode's Clean (they also did a pretty good cover of the Cure's Disintegration, but i won't link that):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx5OrRDEUGg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tStq4CE_TXA
Neurosis did a good job of covering Black Sabbath's Children of the Grave too, though the quality here doesn't do it justice and Scott's normally amazing vocals seem a bit off:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI_ps1iSl-I
okay that's enough for now
