114John Cale's "Hallelujah" easily beats Cohen and Buckley combined.
Nick Cave's "Helpless" is a pretty amazing thing.
Er, in a shameful way, Gillan's version of "New Orleans" rocks like a drunk Alsatian

115Song to the Siren"by This Mortal Coil (the Cocteau Twins in disguise)
(Long afloat on|On the floating,) (ship|shape)less oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving (into your eyes|to your isle)
And you sang, "Sail to me, sail to me, let me enfold you.
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you (hare when I was fox|here when I was full sail)?
Now my foolish boat is (leaning|leaving)
Broken (lovelorn|love lost) on your rocks.
For you s(a|i)ng, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow.
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as (a|the) newborn child.
(I'm as riddled as the tide.|
I'm as troubled as the tide.|
I am troubled at the tide.)
Should I stand amid the breakers?
(Or shall|Or should|Should) I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you.
Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you.
(Long afloat on|On the floating,) (ship|shape)less oceans
I did all my best to smile

Can't stand the original.
I'll have to hear this cover, because I think "Rocket USA" is one of Suicide's best songs. Quit your jive yabberin'.
