Atlantic City - The Band. I honestly don't even like the Springsteen original.

I'm not sure if I like it "more" or not, but Big Head Todd's cover of Beast of Burden is one of my favorites.

Three mainstays of the '80s come to mind:

1) Angel of the Morning- Juice Newton

2) Bette Davis Eyes- Kim Carnes (the original by Jackie DeShannon is quite bizarre)

3) I Love Rock 'N Roll- Joan Jett & the Blackguards.
