The best recent covers I've seen all come from the YouTube band: Boyce Avenue. They did excellent covers of Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis), Viva La Vida (Coldplay) and Same Mistake (James Blunt). Check it out @YouTube.

Indeed, Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower is epistesmal.

Opeth did a cover of Deep Purple's "Soldier of Fortune", and it's pretty good.

Also a mention to Jose Gonzalez covering The Knife's "Heartbeats", and Placebo covering Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill"

I agree.. Jose's cover of 'Heartbeats' was great
Also Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'
Aaaaand who could even go past the RHCP's version of 'Higher Ground'
or Muse's cover of Radiohead's 'Creep'

...I like my music..

What the fuck?

talking heads - take me to the river
siouxsie and the banshees - helter skelter
shirley bassey - something & the fool on the hill
patrick wolf - running up that hill

and all of david bowie's 'pinups' album - i think that's a pretty great collection of covers, however he basically does no wrong in my eyes anyway
