Lots of really good stuff here.

I prefer Talking Heads Take me to the River.

The Grateful Dead's Not Fade Away is one of my favorites and an apt tribute to Buddy Holly an underrated pioneer of Rock 'n Roll.

I love the ukelele version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Not going to try and spell Israel K's last name.

Lera Lynn did a cover or TV on the Radio's Wolf Like Me. It's a great song and she is great on it.

There is a band Old School Freight Train that does Superstitious with some excellent results.

Alison Kraus and Union Station's "Now That I've Found You" ain't bad either.

I like this doo-wop version - especially the bass part:

I've always enjoyed Heart doing Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven..... in front of Led Zeppelin themselves, and nearly bringing them to tears.....

Jessica Lea Mayfield and Seth Avett covering Between the Bars by Elliott Smith. Great talent, gone way too soon. His best stuff was still to come.

Im sure I will get flamed for this, but I dont care. This version is so much better than the original.

I'm a geek about the holidays, and like the off kilter Christmas songs, so I'll offer this one up. Love Fran Healy, his band Travis is as cool as it gets. Here they cover Joni Mitchell's song 'River'.

Not meant as a one-up, but your post reminds me of another excellent Meat Puppets cover.

Minutemen: Lost

Also I'm not a huge Mumfords fan, but they do a good job with Springsteen's I'm on Fire here.
