I think Kevin Gilbert's version of Kashmir is better than the original:

Does Talking Heads' "Crosseyed and Painless" covered by Phish* count? For those who appreciate Adrian Belew, I include the TH version with him on guitar from 1980.

Frank Zappa also did some very tasty cover versions of two classics, and pulls them off very very well, including these two (although there are plenty of other performances of these on yootoob):

My favourite cover varies all the time, but my current one is Imelda May's rockabilly version of "Tainted Love".

nice...not a million miles away from (I think) the original...
