Some of my favorites:

Tesla - Real to Reel 1 & 2
Metallica - Garage Inc. & Re-Revisited
Def Leppard - Yeah!
Joe Elliot's Down n' Outz - My ReGeneration
Guns n' Roses - Spaghetti Incident and Covering 'em (unofficial bootleg)
Helloween - Metal Jukebox
Overkill - Coverkill
Iced Earth - Tribute to the Gods
LA Guns - Cuts and Rip the Covers Off
Rush - Feedback
Yngwie - Inspiration
Warrant - Under the Influence
Great White - Great Zeppelin and ReCovered
Yellow Matter Custard - Live in NYC: Tribute to the Beatles
Mike Ness - Cheating at Solitaire and Under the Influence
MSG - Heavy Hitters
Queensryche - Take Cover
Ultimatium - Lex Metalis
The Ramones - Acid Eaters
Kevin DuBrow - In For The Kill

Worst:

Both of those are bland and passion-less. LA Guns also recently released another covers album that received horrible reviews. Haven't heard it myself though.

You didn't care for Queensryche's Take Cover, Ult?

While it didn't blow me away, I liked their selection of songs they chose to cover. Took some lesser known tracks and made 'em their own.

Nah, thought is was sort of dull. The Pink Floyd cover was good, and I liked their cover of Neon Knights alright, but for the most part, it didn't really do much for me.

Jorn ` Dio ( perfect Tribute to the King )

Jorn` Unlocking The Past ( covers of Rainbow, Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, MSG, KISS, City Boy, Whitesnake, Bad Company , all done right ).

can't believe more people are'nt aware of him. hope he does another one soon.

Holy Tribute ( to Dio ) is great as well.

Wish KISS would do a covers record too.

The ABSOLUTE worst is L.A. Guns "Covered In Guns" from 2010. It is awful. They do really flat covers of Def Leppard, Buckcherry and a bizarre attempt at a Kevin Rudolf club song. It's completely unlistenable.

Axel Rudi Pells "Diamonds Unlocked" is pretty hit and mis too.

Actually, I think he was only looking for individual band tributes, not these tribute compilations.
