I'd also say that the Johnny Cash version of Hurt is probably better then the NIN version

As a big fan of both of them I have to disagree on that one.

I think I found one that is a tie.
Rebel Yell. Original by Billy Idol (with guitar by Mr. Steve Stevens) and remake done by Children of Bodom.
John Lennon's Imagine is so much better than A Perfect Circle's version.
The Honeydrippers (fronted by sexy Rock God Robert Plant) version of Sea of Love is way better than the orignal by Phil Phillips & The Twilights. Tom Waits version is well, Tom Waits version.

Take on Me - Originally performed by A-ha, their version was totally blown out of the water by Reel Big Fish.
I'm not a big Dylan guy, so I have to agree with Hendrix's rendition of All Along the Watchtower (special mention to DMB, their live version is awesome as well).
Twist and Shout - Originally performed by the Isley Brothers, but pnwed by a little known British band called The Beatles.
Hurt - Originally performed by Nine Inch Nails, and while I appreciate that version for what it is, Johnny Cash's rendition is so hauntingly soulful that I can't help but call it the better version.
Ring of Fire - On the flip side, Social Distortions version of this Johnny Cash classic is the better version, in my opinion.
Where did you sleep last night? - Originally an old-school blues song by Leadbelly, this became Kurt Cobains swan song when Nirvana covered it during their Unplugged session.
Baba O'Riley - Originally a song by The Who, revived by Pearl Jam in the 90's as an awesome cover. I like both versions, depending on the performance. Also covered by Pearl Jam, Rockin in the Free World by Neil Young, Pearl Jam's version is at least on a par with the original, depending on what you're looking for.
I Want you to Want me - Originally by Cheap Trick, the Letters to Cleo version is much better.
I could go on and on, just some of my favorite covers...

ah... NO. Though Letters to Cleo version is catchy, it does not come close to the original. No way, no how.
