Cover songs you think are better than the original

Most definitely Death's cover of Judas Priest's Painkiller.

Judas Priest's original kicked copious amounts of ass in every way.


Then Death came along, add their own guitar solo and Chuck Schuldiner's awesome screams. I didn't think the original would ever be surpassed.
 
System of A Down's cover of Black Sabbath's Snowblind is the only one I can think of. Lemme go smoke here in a minute and I'll come up with something.
 
Tori Amos - Smells like Teen Spirit
Nirvana - Man who sold the world
Cake - I will survive
Hendrix - All along the watchtower
Counting Crows - Friend of the devil
 
You took the worRAB right out of my mouth, because I say what I type...damn habit...

But why? Why do you like Limp Bizkit's cover-I use that very loosely because a cover is supposed to sound good- more than The Who? The Who wrote the song, played it right, and kept it simple. Limp Bizkit sounRAB horrible...Thanks I can die and be content with the fact that there are stupid people in the world.
