Great Marillion tune, although I'm more of a "Fish" fan than Steve Hogarth.
Love cake. Have you ever listened to Soul Coughing?

TOOL's cover of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" is a good one.

Please forgive the lack of Youtube links, I have filtered internet at work and can't access the site
Marilyn Manson Covers
"I Put A Spell On You" - Creedence Clearwater Revival
"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)" - Eurythmics
"Personal Jesus" - Depeche Mode
"Tainted Love" - Soft Cell
In general, these are all songs I loved by the original artists, but the Manson covers have a little extra something that I feel improves the songs.
Kittie Cover
"Run Like Hell" - Pink Floyd
Metallica Covers
"Last Caress" - Misfits
"Stone Cold Crazy" - Queen
Guns N Roses Covers
"Hair of the Dog" - Nazareth
"Live & Let Die" - Paul McCartney and Wings

Sorry to be a stickler (can't help it, I'm too much of a goddamn know-it-all jerk)
"I put a spell on you" was written by Screamin' Jay Hawkins (check out his version, it's amazing, and the whole band was so sh*tfaced they could'nt remember recording it)
Tainted love by soft cell is in itself a cover, it was originally sung (though not written by) Gloria Jones...
I think the rest are all good!! You da man, though BW!!!
