Good question, Sushi. You've named some great ones already. I think I could make a whole list out of Dylan covers. Some of my favorites:

Nina Simone - Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Peter, Paul & Mary - Don't Think Twice, It's Alright
Indigo Girls - Tangled Up in Blue

I love IG's cover of "Don't Think Twice" as well. I think they sang it with Joan Baez. I also really like their cover of "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" (Elton John)

These three are all very good, although I still prefer Leonard Cohen's version of Hallelujiah.

Madonna - American Pie - No wait, that sucked. :tongue2:
The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter - I actually do like this one.
