I've been seeing more and more covers popping up everywhere, so I figured I'd pitch in my own 10 likes, in no particular order:
My Bloody Valentine - Map Ref 41 N 93 W (Wire)Editors - French Disko (Stereolab)The Futureheads - Let's Dance (David Bowie)Blitz - Vicious (Lou Reed)Supergrass - Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others (Smiths)Halloween, Alaska - I Can't Live Without My Radio (LL Cool J)Placebo - Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush)Ulrich Schnauss - Crazy For You (Slowdive)Whomadewho - Satisfaction (Benny Benassi)Primal Scream & Kate Moss - Some Velvet Morning (Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood)I also really wanted to include The Cat Empire's cover of "Hotel California", but I couldn't find an mp3 of it anywhere... hence why it took me so long to get this post up today. If any of you readers have it, please send it over!

Smart cover by Supergrass...good to know those mercurial boys are still circulating.

I posted the Cat Empire's "Hotel" at yousendit. I notice my attempt at entering the French title was too much for Windows to handle, but so it goes.
By the way, do you know what album has MBV's Wire cover? I'm obsessive about my tags in iTunes. Thanks!

The MBV cover is from "Whore: Tribute to Wire".
That yousendit link didn't work :(

Nevermind. Got the yousendit to work by removing something in the URL.

The Editors cover just made me want and go listen to the Stereolab original.
Surely this should not be what a cover is like?

Ha! Loving the cover of Satisfaction.

The Futurehead's "Hounds of Love" ...and Stars' "This Charming Man"...Brilliant Stuff.
