Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready (from Pearl Jam) covered Bob Dylan's "Masters of War" at the Dylan 30th anniversary concert in 1993. I think it's my favorite Dylan cover -- a powerful rendition of a powerful song.

Some great ones mentioned already, so I'll just try & stick with covers that haven't been mentioned yet:

Less Than Jake - Surrender (Cheap Trick)
Megadeth - No More Mr. Nice Guy (Alice Cooper)
Me First & the Gimme Gimmes - pretty much their entire catalog
Bloodhound Gang - It's Tricky (Run-DMC)
Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics)
Love Spit Love - How Soon is Now? (Morrissey)
Shinedown - Simple Man (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
Nonpoint - In the Air Tonight (Phil Collins)
Quiet Riot - Cum on Feel the Noize (Slade)
Billy Idol - Mony Mony (Tommy James & the Shondelles)
Echo & the Bunnymen - People are Strange (The Doors)

Off the top of my head...

Also, someone mentioned any cover of "In Your Eyes"; SR-71 recorded a killer cover of this song as "Mitch Allen", but I haven't been able to find it anywhere (SR-71 is a local band, so it got heavy rotation on a local radio station for a while).
