Clash - Police and Thieves (when punk finally got dub right)
Combine Harvester - Wurzels (the original is terrible - yup parodies CAN make crap songs good!)
Hallelujah (and most Cohen actually) - John Cale / Rufus Wainwright / kd lang
Jimi Hendrix - Along the Watchtower (ditto with Dylan)
Grace Jones - Private Life / She's Lost Control
Low - Transmission (I think, might be a draw on that one)
A few more inspired by zbear:
Devo - Satisfaction
Residents - Kaw-Liga (yes it's a cover!) / Hound Dog / It's a Man's Man's Man's World
Dead Kennedies - Viva Las Vegas
Negativland - U-2 (I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For) (although being anally raped with a rusty dagger and having wire wool and barbed wire thrust in your ears would be preferable to U2)
Japan - I Second that Emotion
Laibach - Across the Universe / Back in the USSR (that whole album actually)
Slits - I Heard It Through the Grapevine
Ned's Atomic Dustbin - I've Never Been To Me (motherfuckerrrrrrrr!!!!)
Fatima Mansions - Everything I Do (I Do it for you) - see U2 statement re: Bryan Adams
The Fall - Lost in Music - yes way, you heard right although a close one
Fall - Day in the Life (see comment about U2 for Beat....only joking, although I prefer covers to the originals)
The Fall - Victoria - although I do love the Kinks original
And finally, cos it's a great ending song:
What a Wonderful World - usually I'd say the Ramones (Sid, shut up, not even close lad) but holy13nation just introduced me to the Ministry version, which might trounce it. So a tie.
Oh and the best covers compilation EVER:
I own this on vinyl and CD, well the last is a copy of Kirk's CDs I spent months searching for as a present for him.
