Dave Matthews Band's cover of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower". I'm a bit ambivalent whether that version or that of Hendrix blows my socks off even more.
The Chicago (Transit Authority) cover of The Spencer Davis Group's I'm A Man
I liked Kula Shaker's version of Hush. I was gonna link a video. Apparently there are two official videos - one from the 90s, and one from a recent movie soundtrack. Both videos are just gawd awful. Kind of a buzzkill, really. Yer just gonna have to take my word for it.
The classic Nazareth cover of Love Hurts.
James Gang's covers of Lost Woman and Bluebird.
Joe Walsh's covers of Get Back and I'll Tell The World About You.
Humble Pie's covers of Anna (Go to Him), Drift Away, and I Can't Stand the Rain.
Blues Saraceno's cover of Funk #49.
Jeff Beck's cover of She's a Woman.
Mountain's versions of Roll Over Beethoven and Theme for an Imaginary Western.
I like Peter Frampton's version of Signed, Sealed, Delivered.
Albert King's version of Crosscut Saw.
Cream's version of Spoonful.
Eagles versions of How Long and Ol' 55.
CCR's version of Heard it through the Grape Vine.

3 Covers that one-up the originals (in my book)
Shinedown's version of Skynyrd's "Simple Man"
Johnny Cash OWNS NIN's "Hurt"
David Lee Roth's cover of Lovin' Spoonful's "Coconut Grove" (subtly different, clean and groovy)

Maná - Tonto en la lluvia (fool in the rain)
Krokus - Ballroom Blitz
Two of my favorite covers, which I also feel do great justice to the originals.
Like I said in that other thread, Vanilla Fudge's "Keep Me Hangin' On" is pretty awesome.
And I second Johnny Cash's "Hurt".

I heard David Bowie's We could be heroes the other day and I was think that I like The Wallflowers version even more. I don't really like the Wallflowers either but they had a few good songs.
Some others l like are Birdland by Niacin, Donna Lee by Jaco, Wendy by The Descendents, and Rawhide by The Dead Kennedys.

How about Yonder Mountain String Band covering Talking Heads?
