I especially love this one cover:

My Love - originally by Justin Timberlake, covered by We Came as Romans

It has some of the original song in it, which just makes it all the more awesome. :P

The band The Northern Kings is a metal band that covers 80s-90s pop songs.

We don't need another hero
Take on Me
Broken Wings
Hello
Kiss from a rose

all the above are amazing cover songs... you should try them out. one of the 4 singers is Tony Kakko from Sonata Arctica :3... his work is always a joy to listen to.
