I don't know about better, but I really love this cover. Shonen Knife's cover of the Ramone's The KKK Took My Baby Away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPdNRg51a50

"Glory box" by John Martyn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl9o8zGESe0 I love Portishead´s original song but this cover is an orgasmic version too.

Killswith Engage's cover of Dio's Holy Diver. Without question. The original version by Dio is good but the cover by Killswitch Engage is just a little bit better in my opinion. They added just enough of their own Killswitch Engage sound to the song without really changing it aside from one word at the end from a second "no" to "yeah". Probably the best Metal/Rock cover I've heard.

Mettalicas "Turn the Page" cover was well done. As big of Bob Seger fan as I am, I give them they're due.
