The one I keep coming back to is Ryan Adams' cover of the Willie Nelson song "(You Were) Always On My Mind".
Now, I love Willie, but Adams version is so head and shoulders above the original, it's not even close.
Where Nelson was cheesy, Adams is heartfelt. It is an incredible cover.
So what's your pick?

I have a soft spot for "I'm a Believer," done originally by the Monkees and redone by Smashmouth. I have to admit that Marilyn Manson's darker version of Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" is pretty darned good, as is Alien Ant Farm's cover of the Michael Jackson fave "Smooth Criminal"

There's so many good ones to choose from, as much as i love the beatles, i would say that joe cockers version of "with a little help from my friends" is probably the one that i think of most.
