Here's another one that's kick @ss
Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda does a remix of Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence that's pretty tight

Re: Best Alt Covers of Pop Songs
I wish they had a studio recording of this, but there's not one that I know of. This was one of my favourite parts of the last Nickel Creek show I saw. So sick. Chris gets really into it too. Crowd went CRAZY when he did a booty drop halfway through. So awesome.

Re: Best Alt Covers of Pop Songs
Infectious Grooves (A.K.A Mike from Suicidal Tendencies) did a GREAT cover of Bowie's "Fame."
Their cover of The Immigrant Song is great too

Re: Best Alt Covers of Pop Songs
Sonic Youth put out an album as Ciccone Youth ('The Whitey Album') which has great covers of Madonna (Burnin' Up and Into the Groove) and Robert Palmer (Addicted to Love). Into the Groove is one of my all-time favorite covers.

Re: Best Alt Covers of Pop Songs
Justin Timberlake did a fantastic cover of Phil Collins's "Againts all Odds" which I think takes the cake. Close second is Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt."
Others that I like: Dynamite Hack "Boyz in da Hood" Buckcherry "Anything Anything (I'll give you)" Me First and the Gimme-gimmes "Country Road" and "Danny's Song" Marylin Manson "Sweet Dreams" MxPx "Oh Boy" (originally by Buddy Holly)
