Has anyone heard Nico's version of David Bowie's "Heroes"?
Nico? German photo model who sang in the Velvet Underground 1966-67 (?) Is she alive these days (drugs...)?
Anyway Heroes with Nico is so good, in fact the whole album (name?) is good.

Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" done by Wall of Voodoo
U2's "Love is Blindness" done by Cassandra Wilson
Tom Wait's "Heart Attack and Vine" done by John Hammond
Iggy Pop's "Success" done by Duran Duran
Allman Bros. "Whipping Post" done by Frank Zappa
Covers that are so HORRIBLE compared to the original the performer should never be allowed near a microphone again:
Hendrix's "Little Wing" as done by Sting.

thinking of buddy jimi
i have kept wondering for a long long time
why the wind whispers Mary
as jimi sings in
"The Wind Cries Mary"
and for whom does the wind cry
and why
/if not for 'joy
i've come to the conclusion, my friend:
- answers are blowing in the wind

"You Keep Me Hangin' On" is more dynamic by the Vanilla Fudge than by The Supremes
Jazz scholars are gonna hammer me for this one: "Summertime" by Big Brother And The Holding Company, (starring Janis Joplin), is better than the original from "Porgy and Bess".

If you like real hard music:
"Painkiller" , original by Judas Priest, done by Death (R.I.P. Chuck Chuldiner) on "The Sound Of Perseverence"
Chuck was a genius on the guitar, or as a colleague said after his untimely death: If you listen to the development in Chucks playing techniques over the last decade and the last albums, you could not possibly imagine where he would have led guitar playing if he had been able to live longer...

"Dedicated To The One I Love" by The Mamas And The Papas is better than the original.
"Baby, It's You" -Smith has the best version. I have no idea how a group of One Hit Wonders with a single unimaginative album could outdo both Motown, (The Shirelles), and the Beatles. But for one brief moment in musical history, that is what they managed to do.

Contrabando Y Traicion
Contrabando Y Traicion by Los Tigres del Norte is a gripping tale of drug smuggling, love, and betrayal, sung to Northern Mexican banda music that kind of sounds like German polkas.
La Lupita covered this song in a PUNK style, sounding like the Sex Pistols.
While I won't say it's actually BETTER than the original, it's a nice variation; it captures the rage and passion of the original in a more raw form.
Unfortunately, the audio quality of most recordings of narcocorrido music like this absolutely sucks.

I am with Peter D. on his reviews of the Revolting ***** and the Dead Kennedies. Along the same line the Lords of the New Church do a version of Like a Virgin (Maddona) which is worth a listen.
The Jesus and Mary Chain do a version of Surfin' USA that is great. Alvin and the Chipmunks also do an admirable job of that old classic.
And now for something completely different. Holly Cole has an album Temptation which covers Tom Waits. Much better than Tom can manage

this may not be very well taken here, but in my opinion Stevie Ray Vaughn's version of Voodoo Child is better than Hendrix!

Santana's cover of "She's Not There" (Zombies)
although the original is pretty good too.
Also, Both Marvin Gaye's (1968) and Creedence's (1970) covers of "I Heard it through the Grapevine" are much better than the original Gladys Knight and the Pips 1967 version.

While my guitar gently weeps. Origionaly done by george harrison and covered by the jeff healy band. Most of my friends think i'm an idiot for thinking the cover is better than the origional. I just like the cover better thats all.
nobody special said:
Stevie Ray Vaughan did the "slight return" version. Hendrix's Voodoo Chile is still the best.

seems like i've mentioned this elsewhere. Johnny Cash has done some fabulous covers. U2's "One" and NIN's "Hurt" come to mind, but there are many others.
In fact you can check out the "Hurt" video on VH1 these days (when they actually play videos). It's a really good video to go with a really good song.
