Just off the top of my head, two immediately come to mind.

Manfred Mann's version of Springsteen's Blinded by the Light.

Colin James' version of Van Morrison's Into the Mystic. Here's the studio version. There are a couple of good live versions on YT also if you care.

Oh, man, covers are my favorite. I could probably make a 10-disc set of stuff from my collection.

Here're two from my top 10, I'll be back with more later.

The Editors doing REM's Orange Crush, and Jason Mraz doing Melt With You.

And for an entire disc, you can't beat Easy Star All Star's Dub Side of the Moon. Reggae Floyd. Excellent.

The (English) Beat doing Smokey Robinson's Tears of A Clown

The Clash doing Toots Hibbert's Pressure Drop

The Feelies doing Another Stooges classic Real Good Time

The Jayhawks doing Grand Funk Railroad's Bad Time

The Cowboy Junkies doing the VUs Sweet Jane

Thanks guys for suggestions. It is interesting to hear how each band put their own twist into familiar song. Sometimes it does sound better than the original
