These are also quite good--

Big Mountain - Baby I Love Your Way
Climie Fisher - Love Changes Everything
Danny Wilson - Mary's Prayer
The Divinyls - I Touch Myself
Shakespeare's Sister - Stay

Getting nostalgic and looking for this one on youtube i stumbled across a cover by the usually irritatiing Sophie Ellis-Bextor (what happened to her?) i have to say it's a very good cover imo :)
