I'm going to have to say, Waylon Jennings' version of "Can't you see" is better than the Marshall Tucker Band's version.

Interested in what some of you guys think, and some of your songs you enjoyed being remade?

NIN's Hurt sounds like it was meant for Johnny Cash

I won't even listen to it much because it depresses the shite out of me.

Warren Haynes' version of "Into the Mystic"

Cross Canadian Ragweed's "Whiskey River"

Gov't Mule's "Simple Man"

DMB's "Cortez the Killer" - really don't like the neil young version, or neil young.

Also, don't know who did "Mexico" first, but the James Taylor version is my favorite.

I don't know if this counts, but I like what Jason Bonham did on Good Times Bad Times better than the original by his dad.

can't post the link but,

Lay Lady Lay by Buddy Guy
(Bob Dylans tune)

also, the original "Thrill is gone" by Roy Hawkins is much better by Chicken Shack Live 1990

Does it count if you prefer Anderson Council to post-Syd Pink Floyd?

Maybe not better but definitely still awesome...Sean McConnell's cover of MJ's "Dirty Diana". Then again, I have a borderline sick obsession with Sean McConnell, so maybe I'm biased
