Wild World by Maxi Priest and On and On by Aswad are better than the version by Cat Stevens and Stephen Bishop, imo.

CMAR, sound unheard I'm gonna submit that nobody does "Gimme Shelter" better than the Stones.

I really like the White Stripes' "Stop Breakin' Down", maybe better than the Stones', both better than Robert Johnson's

The audio quality of this clip isn't the best, but I've always loved this cover of Stairway to Heaven. Especially from minute 7 on.

True, or even a cover of the cover, where he plays the whole thing on the keyboard. I really enjoyed this for whatever reason.

I love Hendrix...

But the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn does Voodoo Chile and then some.

At first I thought Metallica's Whiskey in the Jar was a better cover, but that's only because I hadn't heard the cover(?) they covered.

Thin Lizzy's is much more awesome.

Yes, and I think I said Hazy Shade of Winter by The Bangles. And I'm standing by it.

Steppenwolf - The Pusher

The original was written by a guy named Hoyt Axton, whose other famous song was Joy To The World (aka Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog).

Johnny Cash (I see a theme) - Big Iron (Can't find the Cash version so you get a Meat Puppets cover)
White Stripes - Jolene (love how different from the original it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zskw3mCQFL4 I like when bands make cover songs their own)
Nirvana - Lake of Fire
