Robert Wyatt - great choice.
YouTube - Alex Gopher - The Child

I'd say Robert Wyatt doing shipbuilding isn't technically a cover because he wrote it. I do prefer his version though.
I really don't like Metallica but Rodrigo Y Gabriela do a good cover of one of their songs:
YouTube - Rodrigo Y Gabriella cover of Metallica's Orion
This Ukulele cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is also pretty amazing:

I've seen that Ukelele one before, amazing.
And keeping with the Metallica covers, I love this:

Hayseed Dixie are fantastic!
On a similar note, David Lee Roth's Stumming With The Devil is a great album of Van Halen songs, I guess they're technically covers.
