The Wildhearts, covering the theme from "Cheers" with a little bit of "Taxi" thrown in for good measure.

Here's a 2 for 1 deal...
The Twilight Singers:
Come Live With Me - Massive Attack
Where Did You Sleep Last Night - Lead Belly (Nirvana's cover of this song is great too!)
I think Mark Lanegan is the only person that can stand on stage completely still for a whole show with one hand on the mic and the other on the mic stand, and still look like a badass.

Travis:
Hit Me Baby One More Time - Britney Spears
(I like this version best, but the audio and video don't line up. Maybe just close your eyes and listen)

Gary Jules:

Stone Temple Pilots

And if annyone posts Plateau, Oh Me, or Lake of Fire by the Meat Puppets and says "This is a great Nirvana cover band!"
THEN....

I'm surprised we got this far without All Along the Watchtower

How about This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren

This is better than the original...

Can't sleep. Mad at numbers. Old thread. Here we go.

I hate to be That Guy, but I think these two are better than the originals. Even though that is theoretically impossible. Especially since I adore the Stones and Sabbath.

I'm going to have to keep this streak alive...

There was a glut of covers of this song at the time. I favored this version.
