People Who Died by Ariel Aparicio (originally by the Jim Carroll Band). I've really enjoyed this cover, it's been on pretty heavy rotation since I first heard it. It sounds a bit like The Strokes being fronted by Iggy Pop, it's a pure slice of garage rock.
I Can Change by See Green (originally by LCD Soundsystem). Pretty different from the original, this is played to the band's strengths and sounds really good because of it.

Bad Moon Rising by 8mm (originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival). A laid back cover, in some ways sounding trip-hopish and at other times countrified. A very nice, understated cover. The guitar playing in this is a real highlight as are the laidback vocals.

Never Tear Us Apart by Fruit Bats (originally by INXS). This is a lovely indie folk cover, just a pleasure to listen to.
Enjoy your covers.
cheers.
