Manfred Mann's Earth Band's "Blinded By the Light" is better thatn Springsteen's original.

I like the Beatle's cover of "Rock and Roll Music" better than Chuck Berry's version.

Laugh if you want, but I have always liked Bananarama's cover of "Venus" better than the original, done by The Shocking Blue.

Laugh even harder, but The Bangles did a great cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter" back in the 80's. It kicked a$$. I forget the original artist, though. The Byrds, maybe? I'm not sure.

I'm sure there are more I could think of.
