I love this cover of Hall of Fame, I love the original too...but I think I actually prefer the cover, I love the accoustic sound..especially considering it was recorded in his grandads garage, just him and his guitar...so no affects or tweeking what so ever

There's so many:

Run, Snow Patrol/Leona Lewis (Leona's a bit crap though powerful. Much prefer the original.)
Steppin Razor - Joe Higgs/Peter Tosh/Sublime/The Selector/Bushman
All Along The Watchtower - Bob Dylan / Jimi Hendrix
Dear Prudence ~ Siouxsie and the Banshees / The Beatles

Don't know how I forgot the latter as a favourite of mine, although most definitely prefer Siouxsie's version.

There are many more covers I love though.
