The Smiths (Original)
Love Spit Love ("the Craft"/"Charmed")
TATU ("300km In The Wrong Lane")
Don't forget the one by Snake River Conspiracy from their album Sonic Jihad. There are others, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Soon_Is_Now%3F#Cover_versions

I was wondering if this would make the original list, glad to see that it at least made the Readers Best list. Great opening line, great song, great band, great lyricist...Morrissey.
