I'm just bored.....but here are some that popped into my head.
Devo's "Satisfaction"
Toad the Wet Sproket's "Hey Bulldog"
Eva Cassidy's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"
George Thorogood's "Move it On Over"
-
Fugees: Killing me softly
Dwight Yoakam: Suspicious Minds
Celine Dion: You shook me (j/k)
-
I Like Guns and Rose's "Sympathy for the Devil"
Manfred Mann's "Blinded By The Light"
-
Rolling Stones "Not Fade Away"
Beatles "Michelle" - I don't think they were the first to write it/perform it?
-
Naw Beetle, Michelle is a McCartney original. I love the recording....it sounds so "pure"....the acoustic guitars sound about as good as can be recorded imho.

That's a really good one Steve.....not many remakes can seem so clearly better than the original, other than remakes of Bob Dylan tunes.
-
Pretty Woman by Van Halen was alright
-
"Yessir I can boogie" by Sophie Ellis-Bextor... dunno, sounds sexier sung by her :)

Hmm, I wasn't sure... but one of their hits from that era was not an original. If not Michelle, maybe Yesterday?
-
Yesterday is another McCartney song.
The Beatles did covers on some of the very early albums.
Some I know: Rollover Beethoven, Hey Hey Hey Hey ( Kansas City), Rock "n Roll Music, Twist And Shout.
-
OK NUKE - you're the Beatles expert; I won't argue with you. :aok
How about some remake c**k ups? The Beatles' song "With a Little Help from my Friends" was ruined - by Joe C**kup
And "Spirit in the Sky" (Norman Greenbaum) was ruined by Wet Wet Wet.
-
Nirvana had the highest concentration of GREAT covers in one live session and probably of any album I have heard.
Nirvana Unplugged in NY is a must have album IMHO.
Covers: The Man Who Sold The World, On A Plane, Plateau, Lake of Fire.
That Album is a great one.
-
Nah.
The Who's "Acid Queen" was an OK song. Then they had Tina Turner do it for the movie Tommy.
Reduced the Who (my all-time fave band) to just four skinny white kids.
Scherf
-
All along the watchtower- Jimi Hendrix.
-
Type O negative: Cinnamon Girl
Ramones: Surfin' Bird
Rammstein: Das Model :aok
-
Trains version of Ramble On. The Best.
-
Oh man. There are so many.
I liked Word Up by korn. But I dont think I'd call it the best tho.
There was a remake of Love Shack. Damned if I can remember the name of the group who did it. But when I hear it in the car, the gas peddle hits the floor and the stereo goes to max. :D
I really like it. 8)

Hey Good Lookin' -- Jimmy Buffet
Original was by ....
-
Ramble On - Original Led Zeppelin - Remake - Dred Zeppelin
:aok
-
The Smashing Pumkins version of Landslide
-
The Circle Jerks do a great cover of "Put a little love in your heart"
Also, Social Distortion's cover of "Ring of Fire"
Any of the Covers that Johnny Cash's cover's from the American Recordings. In fact, I would say that Cash's cover of "Hurt" is my my all time favorite, though I didn't care for the original, so it might not be on point.

Here's a few..
Carol King "You've got a Friend"
I hear a cover version of the song "Drift Away" (early version was by Doby Grey) but I'm not sure who does it.
UB40 - "I got you babe"
Richie Havens - "Here comes the Sun"
...
Oh - can you guess the namer of the song that is the most covered in history? (easy and my last entry is a hint)
-
My Generation -- Greenday.

Stone Cold Crazy (Queen) redone by metalliica
-
The Church cover of "Cortez the Killer"
