I vote for any cover of a Dylan or Springsteen song being better than the original.

Tiffany - "I Think We're Alone Now"
;s

I always liked Joan Jett's "Crimson & Clover"

Kind of weird double reverse cover is David Bowie doing "All The Young Dudes" which was written by Bowie for Mott the Hoople

Lone Justice did Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" at their live shows. That was some good stuff.

Big Head Todd & the Monsters did a great cover of "Everyday People" live as well.

Not technically a cover, but Joe Walsh and Billy Gibbons did Life in the Fast Lane together.
Not a replacement for Don, but 2 awesome guitar players havin' some fun with their own style just plain Rocks!!!!

Re: Best rock covers of all time
 
Then again, how many of you have ever listened to
Pat Boone - 'In A Metal Mood-No More Mr. Nice Guy'?
Includes him singing Big Band version covers of:

"You've Got Another Thing Comin'" (Original: Judas Priest) – 4:19
"Smoke on the Water" (Original: Deep Purple) – 3:53
"It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" (Original: AC/DC) – 4:37
"Panama" (Original: Van Halen) – 5:15
"No More Mr. Nice Guy" (Original: Alice Cooper) – 3:06
"Love Hurts" (Original: Everly Brothers, popularized as a hard rock ballad by Nazareth; composed by Boudleaux Bryant) – 4:57
"Enter Sandman" (Original: Metallica) – 3:52
"Holy Diver" (Original: Dio) – 4:44
"Paradise City" (Original: Guns N' Roses) – 4:41
"The Wind Cries Mary" (Original: The Jimi Hendrix Experience) – 4:12
"Crazy Train" (Original: Ozzy Osbourne) – 4:32
"Stairway to Heaven" (Original: Led Zeppelin) – 4:59

Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

If we're going that route, why not Grunge Lite? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhuUWBCExnk

Yes, we own it and listen to it periodically.

For more recent artists, I actually really liked John Mayer covering Don't Need No Doctor:

I vote for All Along the Watchtower by Jimmy but then again all Bob Dylans songs are better by others.
