And they often throw in bits of Mushroom Head.

For Spacemen 3, who can forget "When Tomorrow Hits" originally by Mudhoney.

And Bowery Electric's cover of Spacemen 3's "Things will never be the same"

Don't forget "Be My Baby" and (now) "Stayin' Alive".

Oasis also does quite a few good covers:
"Cum On Feel The Noize" - Slade
"I Am The Walrus" - Beatles
"To Be Someone" - The Jam
