can't bump radiohead, just a great band(but king of limbs leaves something to be desired)

radiohead also did a good cover of nobody does it better, worth a listen

plus Thom Yorke collaborated with Sparklehorse once and did a fairly good cover of pink floyd classic wish you were here

Excellent choices, I approve! Although pretty much anything off the Seeger sessions is great.

Here's another class cover

I'm really surprised no has mentioned the White Stripe's cover of Jolene, I think it's one of the most incredible covers I've ever heard.

Like the Kooks cover of Kids

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBLT_Fxu6rk

Not mad on AM's version of Love Machine, but I rather like their one of Trouble (don't shoot me - my mum can't stand it:D)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqT6aMvH41A

I'm rather liking this cover of Jamie T by this young English band

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDxNmcb-0ko

One of my favourite covers has to be this one though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGvfSQARgkk

I really like covers that are very different from the original, so I really like this Ellie Goulding Cover of Rihanna's Only Girl in the World

Also Peter Gabriel's cover of Arcade Fire's My Body is a Cage.
