Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah originally by Leonard Cohen

[daftknight]

I like Anberlin's version of the Smith's "There is a light that never goes out" a lot more than the original. Likewise, Self Against City's cover of "Alone on Christmas" kicks ass.

And on a lighter note, Keane's combination of "Bootylicious" and "Dirrty" is pretty amusing.

[tm decomposer]

John Mayer - Little Red Corvette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNgzGiuuq1M
John Mayer - Lost/Clarity w/JayZ: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vST5lt537zU

These are probably two of the most amazing covers I've ever heard. To me, they're better than the originals. His 12/06/08 show was absolutely breathtaking. Plus, his vocal range is so much better than Chris Martin's!

None of these bands have any business covering such good songs.
