Off the top of my head, Nick Cave's "Stranger Than Kindness" and Peter Gabriel's "Mercy Street" both covered by Fever Ray.
I love the Slits' cover of "Heard It Through The Grapevine" because it sounds so homemade and ramshackle yet awesome.
Love both versions of "Higher Ground" but the Red Hot Chili Peppers cover just edges out Stevie Wonder's original.
Vic Reeves' cover of Ultravox's "Vienna"*
* - ok, this might be a lie. :)
