Covers of songs you enjoy more than the original songs?

Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" leaps to mind.
As does Hendrix's rendition of 'All Along the Watchtower'. I feel like even Dylan would concede that it is far and away the best version of his song.

I said in the OP:

And nobody mention Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower, that is almost universally preferred to the Dylan original.

And I'm pretty sure that Dylan said of Hendrix's version, "That's the song I was trying to make," so yeah, he agrees.
