I'd be shocked of someone else hadn't mentioned it already, but the Hendrix cover of All Along the Watchtower goes more or less without saying.



Johnny Cash's cover of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt" is also pretty damn epic.

Awesome tune but Harlem Nocturne is a jazz standard from the 30's or 40's (maybe earlier). I know Ellington did it as did Les Brown....ok so I did a little digging and it seams it's an Earl Hagen tune.
