I expect I'll be given all kinds of heckling over this, but three such covers, to me, are -

"Hazy Shade of Winter" by the Bangles (originally by Simon & Garfunkel)
"The Man Who Sold The World" by Nirvana (originally by David Bowie)
"Because The Night" by 10,000 Maniacs (originally by Patty Smith)

I'll second you on all three. I also must add:

"Layla" when Eric Clapton reinvented the song himself for MTV Unplugged
"All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix (originally by Bob Dylan)

Marc Cohn's "Tears of a Clown" cover isn't better than the original, but it's damn good! Very smooth and jazzy.
