For me, it would be Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. Very emotional song. I also saw Papa Roach do a cover of Nirvana's "Lithium". I'm not a Roach fan, but they did good.

I don't usually like covers, but I really, really love Greenday's cover of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero". Good going, guys!
Another one I like very much is Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane" covered by Roxy Music.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonley Hears Club Band by the Beatles would be the best if they didn't cut Hitler, Ghandi, and Jesus out of the backround..
