The Good Cover Songs demand their own thread of equal stature. Plus, I'm a huge fan of good cover tunes. I'll start with a few:
Artist - Song (Original Artist)
Snake River Conspiracy - How Soon is Now (Morrisey)
Nine Inch Nails - Get Down (Queen)
Souxsie and the Banshees - Dear Prudence (Beetles)
Tricky - Black Steel (Public Enemy)

Personally, I tend to like most of Siouxie's covers:
Spellbound and The Passenger are both favorites of mine.
Pet Shop Boys - Always on My Mind (Willie Nelson)
This one sometimes makes me forget the original.
Laibach - Sympathy for the Devil (Rolling Stones)
Nine (IIRC... nine?) different kinds of brilliant.
Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Neil Young)
A great debut from what's become the best mainstay in Britpop.
Kirsty MacColl with The Pogues - Miss Otis Regrets (Cole Porter standard)
What a moody redo, suddenly the tale becomes haunting.
