**** you, Adam, for constantly reminding me of the one emo song I kinda like.

Yeah, that's exactly how a cover song should be done. They didn't change too much of it, yet they put their own unique spin on it.
Some other great covers -
Jimi Hendrix doing Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower"
John Frusciante doing Sweet's "Fox on the Run"
RHCP doing Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues"
Metallica doing the traditional Irish song "Wiskey in the Jar"
The Animals doing the classic folk ballad "House of the Rising Sun"
Eric Clapton doing J.J. Cale's "Cocaine"
There are a lot more that are really great, but those are some ones off the top of my head.
Listening to now:
Oasis - Listen Up (Unplugged)
