The band "Ours" have an amazing cover of Bohemian Rhapsody (minus the crazy shenanigans that happens mid-way through the original song) that they actually recorded in studio and added it as a bonus track to the "Drowning" single.
also, OLP's rendition of Jeff Buckley's "Eternal Life" should be way up there on the list.

mudmen - home for a rest.
this isn't just me pimping the mudmen, as usual... every single person who's ever seen the mudmen live ALWAYS agrees that this is one of the best performances ever!

although there are lot's of tribute and cover songs out there these are a few of my favorites.
U2( Edge really) singing Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline on the POP tour as a karaoke type thing with the audience singing.
SEAL doing Hendrix's Hey Joe
Guns and Roses version of Iggy Pop's Raw Power
OLP- Eternal Flame, Imagine and Teardrop
but one of the funniest covers to me isn't really cover, but Weird AL's parody on songs. That cracks me up all the time

I love Ben Folds' cover of Golden Slumbers by the Beatles.
Also I like Ben Kweller's covers of My Drug Buddy by the Lemonheads and Ice Ice Baby.
Also the Get Up Kids have an awesome cover of Regret by New Order.

I dunno if Raines voice could do a Nirvana song justice. They are the opposite of each others...but that could be interesting.
