A couple of dropped D covers that go over well are:

Shine - Collective Soul
Dr Feelgood - Motley Crue

True, I guess I was asking more for songs that were originally done in Drop D. Thanks for all the replies. I have a good list to sort though.

Life is beautiful - sixx am
So hott - Kid rock
Girls, girls, girls - Crüe
Anything by Nickleback.

Those songs are all in the key of D

I also drop for Word Up, and some other songs I can't think of at the moment that use a low D, but are not in the key of D.
