The best recent covers I've seen all come from the YouTube band: Boyce Avenue. They did excellent covers of Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis), Viva La Vida (Coldplay) and Same Mistake (James Blunt). Check it out @YouTube.

Indeed, Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower is epistesmal.

Opeth did a cover of Deep Purple's "Soldier of Fortune", and it's pretty good.

Also a mention to Jose Gonzalez covering The Knife's "Heartbeats", and Placebo covering Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill"

I agree.. Jose's cover of 'Heartbeats' was great
Also Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'
Aaaaand who could even go past the RHCP's version of 'Higher Ground'
or Muse's cover of Radiohead's 'Creep'
:)
...I like my music..
