Jimi Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower absolutely blows away the original.
Yup. That's one of the songs we were talking about. Dylan himself said that song was Jimi's after hearing his version.
I think Midge Ur's version of Man Who Sold the World is better, but it's a bit quibbly if that really counts as original artist David Bowie contributed to it.
Edit: MSI's cover of Supertramp's Logical Song song is a pretty good cover if you like MSI and not Supertramp. Similarly with their cover of Tom Sawyer and Rush respectively.
David Byrne covers Crystal Water's Gypsy Woman. I'm not sure it's a better cover, but it is unique in that I don't know any other cover of a dance track into not a dance track.
Haven't heard that one. I'll check it out later!
I love covers in general. There isn't one that springs to mind as "better than the original" because I just like hearing a new take an something that's already out there. The "punk goes" albums come to mind as some that are in the rotation frequently.
