The Hollies did an album of Bob Dylan songs that was pretty good. Great version of "The Mighty Quinn".

ok heres the most covered song i know

the song "circle of tyrants"

celtic frost(original)
Obituary
opeth
bewitched
mystic circle
pro-pain

lyrics

After the battle is over
And the sands drunken the blood
All what there remains
Is the bitterness of delusion
The immortality of the gods
Sits at their side
As they leave the walls behind
To reach the jewels gleam
The days have come
When the steel will rule
And upon his head
A crown of gold
Your hand wields the might
The tyrant's the precursor
You carry the will
As the morning is near
I sing the ballads
Of victory and defeat
I hear the tales
Of frozen mystery
The new kingdoms rise (By the circle of the tyrants)
In the land of darkness (The warrior, that was me)
Grotesque glory (None will ever see them fall)
And hunts and war (Are like everlasting shadows)
Where the winds cannot reach (The tyrant's might was born)
And often I look back (With tears in my eyes)
Grotesque glory (None will ever see them fall)
And hunts and wars (Are like everlasting shadows)

Slick Idiot has done some covers of the Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, and Alice Cooper.
They sucked though. Very disappointing.

There are also some 16 Volt vs. Spahn Ranch covers (NIN, Smashing Pumpkins, and KMFDM). Very bass heavy.

Three of my favorite covers are both done by Metallica. Astronomy (Blue Oyster Cult), Tuesday's Gone (Lynyrd Skynyrd), and Turn the Page (Bob Seger). Astronomy is probably my favorite cover ever.

Also, Adagio did a great cover of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song.
