Two Guided by Voices covers by two different bands.  Cobra Verde handles one of my favorites, "Striped White Jets," in a glammy, skeezy rocked out way.  Their version sounds like a song a serial killer would dance around to, and I like it.  Some of Cobra Verde would actually go on to join GBV at some point.  The other track, "Quality of Armor," is by the band Lotion who I know nothing about, but their version of this great song is pretty decent...such a catchy track.
