I'm at work with no speakers, so I can't find clips for you. But here are some favorites:

"Policy of Truth" by Dishwalla - This one shocked the hell out of me. I always thought Dishwalla was totally :facepalm: . Fantastic Cover, totally different feel from the original, but still faithful to it. Its on a Depeche tribute album called "For the Masses"

"No Quarter" by Tool - Had to include this one. They totally transformed this into a proper Tool song.

"Eleanor Rigby" by Godhead - Another one that shocked me. I always thought they were a completely cliched goth band, but this was very good.

"Where did you sleep last night" on Nirvana Unplugged - Sorry, absolutely necessary. Kurt knocked this out out of the motherfuckin park. Probably his last and greatest moment.

"With a little help from my friends" by Joe Cocker at Woodstock - defined a fuckin generation.

Way better than the original in my opinion. It was only recorded with two takes because of bbc's recording time limit. Pasted the two together. wonderful.

Also, a sick live performance of white stripes covering Death letter.
