Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm Don't really like MJ's version much at all. Mostly, the little kid dancing in their video puts it over the top.

Faith - Limp Bizkit. I like this much better than the George Michael version.

You're not very good at this game.
I bet you own a lot of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes records.

Not necessarily better than the originals, but different in a good way:

"Sweet Jane", covered by Cowboy Junkies (Lou Reed - orig.)
"Mississippi", covered by Sheryl Crow (Dylan - orig.)
"Wonderwall", covered by Ryan Adams (Oasis - orig.)
"Used Cars", covered by Ani DiFranco (Springsteen - orig.)
"The Weight", covered by Aretha Franklin (The Band - orig.)

I might get lynched for this, but I like DMB's version of Watchtower better than Hendrix. Although Hendrix is obviously awesome.

Who are DMB? Watchtower is a Dylan song covered by Hendrix...

good covers of old blues songs, not necessarily better than the originals, but good in their own right

Nirvana - "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" (Leadbelly)
the Stones - "Love in Vain" (Robert Johnson)
The White Stripes - "Death Letter" (Son House)
and both of those bands have covers of "Stop Breakin' Down" (Robert Johnson).

Eva Cassidy-- Fields of gold.

She has done some excellent covers of Imagine and Time after time, not sure if they're "better" though.
