Joe Cocker's "with a little help from my friends" was as good as the the original IMO.
Also Fiona Apple's Across The Universe.

I began to know the song from Nirvana - The man who sold the world; I really like this song.
Later I discovered it was a David Bowie cover. So I listened to the original and it is not even close to the Nirvana version!! The original does not even include the solo that I love so much in the Nirvana version.
So thats a good example for me.

I like both the versions equally.. as they are both awesome.. but i agree cobain's version does have some additional charm to it.
I like Wallflowers "Heroes" as much as the original Bowie version.

I love Pet Shop Boys 'Always on my Mind' and I'm not really a fan of Elvis.
Nine Inch Nails 'Dead Souls' is nearly as good as the Joy Division version.
mostly though covers are nowhere near as good as the originals

Melanie's version of the Stones Ruby Tuesday does it for me.
