Adeles "make you feel my love" totally spanks Bob Dylan's original.

Lulus version of The Man Who Sold The World, IMO better than Bowies version, and I don't think Nirvanas version is better.

Work computer blocks the youtube clips so I imagine someone has already suggested the obvious one...but All along the watchtower by Hendrix.

Also prefer led Zepps version of "You Shook Me" and "Babe I'm gonna leave you"
