OK, inspired by a convo in another thread: is it possible for a cover to be better than an original version of a song?
Example: Guns n Roses version of Bob Dylan's classic "Knockin' on Heavens Door". Did Slash bring anything to the table with his wanky-wanky-woo solo, or does the original sentiment of the song prevent any further covers from having any credibility?
Remember that most of the pap we have in the charts now are covers, and make your decision wisely.

Scissor Sisters > Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Really don't like Marilyn Manson, but find the cover of Depeche Modes "Personal Jesus" fantastic.
Best covers though? Ten Masked Men. They do metal covers of pop songs. Having a bunch of screaming guitars and a 40 a day "bwaaaahhhhhhhhh" growl performing Shakiras "Whatever, whenever" is a listening experiance and a half. You'll never find them in the shops (royalties) but p2p sites have them quite frequently.

Van Halen versus The Kinks
You Really Got Me
I really don't know.
Van Halens is good, but it's such a good song in teh first place that well, I can't tell.
Verdict: No winner

Argh.
It's so difficult to tell.
I have to go with Van Halen.
But, oh, The Kinks.
Damn.
Van Halen.
No. The Kinks.
No Van Halen.
Yes. Van Halen.

Cake - I will survive
Fudge Tunnel - Sunshine of Your Love
Clutch - Crazy Horses
Johnny Cash - Hurt
These covers are, for me, better than the originals.
And before a couple of people starting scratching their heads, I prefer the Cash version because of the poignancy of it

True, I was being generous to the paedophile.
