I expect I'll be given all kinds of heckling over this, but three such covers, to me, are -

"Hazy Shade of Winter" by the Bangles (originally by Simon & Garfunkel)
"The Man Who Sold The World" by Nirvana (originally by David Bowie)
"Because The Night" by 10,000 Maniacs (originally by Patty Smith)

 
Both the originals and the covers are great when it comes to those tracks.

I can't say this is better.  But I can say that it's AMAZING, and that I never thought I'd hear a pink floyd cover I like.....

Bonnie Raitt - When the Spell Is Broken. Though I love Richard Thompson's original I like Bonnie's just a bit better.

Better than Townes Van Zandt (who wrote it)? Ooooh, that's controversial.

Ya know, upon further review; the guitar in Iggy's version is so rockin that I changed my mind! Suppose it's when you ask me, if I am in a banjo mood, its Wilco and if I am in a rockin mood, it's The Stooges! I am sure I will think of more later and more to add.{#Cheers}

 
That's the work of the late Ron Asheton. At 15, I was blown away when, at the end of their set, he just parked his guitar—with feedback ablarin'—face-forward against the amp/speaker stack as they left the stage. It was quite an exit to an impressionable young lad.
