i'm not sure if this was mentioned yet, but

Weezer - Uptown Girl

it's such a great song to begin with and then Weezer just powers the whole thing up and it's awesome all over again.

:lol: That song's cute. I also like Newfound Glory's cover of the Neverending Story theme.

And Counting Crows' covers of the Psychedelic Furs' "The Ghost in You" and Elvis Costello's "A Good Year For the Roses"

not weezer
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

Firestarter (Prodigy) by Jimmy Eat World. Amazing what they've done with that song.

Independent Women (Destiny's Child) by Elbow is good as well.

I would have to agree that Nirvana's Man who sold the world is definitely in the top five... my favorite though is Marvelous Three "bohemian rhasphody" by Queen... did i spell that right?

There was a ska band that did a cover of Gin and Juice by Snoop Doggy Dog. That was hilarious.
