I think they kinda of ruined the song actually. Having said that I can't stand Nirvana, and have been a hardcore fan of Bowie for a long-long time. I would add Nightwish's rendition of Over the Hills and Far Away. Not the Led Zep one, it was someone's song I'd never heard of. And Nick Cave's cover of "Long Black Veil" I really don’t like Nirvana’s rendition of The Man Who Sold the World. I think they kinda of ruined the song actually.

That being said, Sorry never heard of Tricky's cover of Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos and No sorry it sucks ass compared to the incomparable Chuck D. Also missing from this list. Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You.

She has a better voice and artistic performance that Etta. Couldn’t read the entire comment list in this list,but There’s also Beyonce starring in “Cadillac Records” as Etta James.
