Johnny Cash - Hurt (originally by nine inch nails regarding drug addiction) ... Cash' version just sends tingles down my spine.

Rain by The Beatles covered by Todd Rundgren. Jealous Guy, written by Lennon performed better by Roxy Music. They did a really good version of Dylans 'Hard rains-a-gonna fall' as well.
Hey Joe by Hendrix was a cover. Oh and 'I wanna be your man' by the Stones.
