Every band worth listening to have made a cover of Jolene. That is just plain fact.

Where Is My Mind - Pixies, covered by M.I.A - $20,

Wow, was certain it was a different song until about 2 minutes in, and I thought M.I.A. seemed dull, that completly changed my view on her. Also reminded me of this:

Aaaaand to throw something on the cover pile, Umbrella by Mandy Moore

EDIT: OH
Vanilla Sky did an awesome cover on Umbrella song too:
