What cover versions do you think do justice or improve on the original?

Ok...
# 1: " hurt" by Johnny Cash... Fkn beautiful, get tears in my eyes every time I hear it..
#2: " Mexican radio" by Celtic Frost.... awesome, wall of voodoo never sounded so good!!!
#3: "feel the silence" by Lacuna coil.... Totally does justice to the awesome original!!!
Just realized my mistake... " enjoy the silence" by lacuna coil!!
I hope a remix by a different band counts too, otherwise I wouldn't be able to introduce my Birgit-M-Going-Crazy-On-The-Dancefloor-Song:
Never Wanted To Dance - Combichrist (Electro Hurtz Mix), the original version by Mindless Self Indulgence is cool too!
Voyage Voyage - Black Nail Cabaret, but I freely admit that I also love the original version by Desireless!
Where You Are - VNV Nation, a remix of the original song by Deine Lakaien, which again is great!
Type O Negative's version of "Black Sabbath" (by Black Sabbath)
Jimi Hendrix' version of "All along the Watchtower" (by Bob Dylan)
Metallica's version of "Turn the Page" (by Bob Seger)
Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage
Hurt by Johnny Cash
Godzilla by Fu Manchu
Okay, but I only have one, and it sound REALLY SILLY when you read this but like I’m dead serious. The Gillian’s Island tv show theme song. Re-done by Tommee Profitt.
Ki: theory’s version of Stand by Me and Disturbed’s version of The Sounds of Silence
I actually hate covers but I do have a few:
Darius Rucker- Nothing Else Matters
Disturbed- Sound of Silence
Danny Olson- Fix You
Lol, someone else who hates cover versions. So do I, usually. Most of them are just silly and superfluous imo.
#1 All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix #2 Sound of Silence - Disturbed #3 Hurt - Johnny Cash
#1 All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix #2 Sound of Silence - Disturbed #3 Hurt - Johnny Cash
