@MissZeppelin:  Hmmm..,there are probably tons but the only ones that immediately come to mind are:

Oh My God – Lily Allen (the Kaiser Chiefs)  

Ho Hey – Lennon and Maisey (the Lumineers) 

Personal Jesus – Johnny Cash (Depeche Mode) 

Your Song – Ellie Goulding (Elton John)

I prefer Iron Maiden’s version of ‘Cross Eyed Mary’ over the Jethro Tull version.

The Black Keys covered an entire album of Junior Kimbroughs music. It’s FANTASTIC. I get lost in it. It’s called Chulahoma and if you like the black keys or blues-y type music, you HAVE to listen to it!!

Pretty much anything Trans-Siberian Orchestra, but I reeeallly love Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)…aka Carol of the Bells

also not a cover, but a parody, but I love Granite State of Mind by SSP (parody of Empire State of Mind). But I’m from New Hampshire so I’m biased and it’s totally legit!

Need you tonight – Jacynthe (INXS)

I think i love you – Kaci (partridge family)

Last Kiss – Pear Jam (Wayne Cochran)

Anything by Birdy, her whole CD was just covers.

There are lots.  So many songs I hear I bet I don’t even know are covers that I like.

Then there are covers I like equally to originals the Smith’s How soon is now and Tatu.

@harperlynn:  Boyce Avenue has a lot of great covers! I LOVE their version of “Fast Car,” and their cover of Michael Jackson’s “Will You Be There” (from the Free Willy soundtrack lol) is also amazing.
