Cover songs better than the originals?

Marylin Manson's cover of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" is much better than the original. Ditto for A Perfect Circles new cd, which is mostly covers of political songs from the 60s 70s and 80s. Orgy's "Blud Monday" beats out the original anyday. And there's a cover of The Beatles "Elanor Rigby" that I hear sometimes when I go out that is great, ditto for a "Tainted Love" remix, done by Marylin Manson if memory serves. Does the original much justice. It's all personal preference. But in my humble opinion, I like any cover that stays true to the original in feeling and poetry of music itself, and that has a new upbeat, modern twist to it. Probably why I liked the above covers so much...
I've heard a very scary version of Another Brick in the Wall almost country style. I think it was by Morris Major and the Minors
Did I mention Warrant's version of We Will Rock You sucks big time?
Does anyone know who covered Cherry Pie? Because that blows as well.

Album is by Luther Wright and the Wrongs (kingston, ontario). The enitre album is a bluegrass interpretation of "the Wall" and while it might upset Pink Floyd fans its a ton of fun.
There's also a Band called Hayseed Dixie which has "bluegrassed" most of AC/DC's stuff.

Ok there use to be a band called Kick Axe that was hot in the 80's for a second.
When I lived in Regina I went and checked them out....they were playing this University bar (clearly already on the decline lol) But the did a Led Zepplin set that was unbelievable.....they were like....the spitting image, just wicked.
