Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcXYz0gtJeM

Don't know who the original artist is because it's so old but Nirvana's version is the best I've heard!

Rufus Wainright's version of Hallelujah.

Also, Stephen Colbert's version of Friday! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEHqi6g9oeY

This is a really good version of Hallelujah, my personal favorite

And then of course Johnny Cash's Hurt is much better than NIN's IMHO.
