I've always liked UFO's cover of Arthur Lee and Love's "Alone Again Or...", and Stevie Ray Vaughan and Sting have each done really good covers of "Little Wing", although I don't think they're necessarily better...just different.
what cover versions are better than the original
For example, Mott the Hoople's version of Sweet Jane is the equal if not better than the Velvets. Also, as long as I'm on the Velvets, a one album band called Detroit, fronted by Mitch Ryder, did a version of Rock and Roll that destroys the Velvets original.What are some other examples....this post is not for rock only....
