To OP, this is a good thread. A ton of songs I didn't realize were covers.
It was only a few years ago when i was adding some Otis Redding songs to my playlist that I came across "Hard to Handle". I was quite surprised.

I forgot to put my favs down.
Tennessee Whiskey- Chris Stapleton (original was done David Allan Coe and then George Jones)
The Promise- Sturgill Simpson (Original was done by When in Rome in the late 80's)
I don't know what possessed him to pick that song to cover from a one hit wonder.
Original: When in Rome
Cover: Sturgill Simpson

This Ol' Cowboy - Marcus King Band.
I believe The Marshall Tucker Band did the original.
Great bass lines, good jam song.

The original was titled I'd Rather Go Blind and was done by Etta James. Coe wrote different lyrics but the melody is a note for note rip off of Etta James.

I'd rate their versions of Where Have All the Good Times Gone? and Dancing in the Streets as being better than both of these.

Leadbelly
None of the covers were better than his, IMO but I love Lead Belly so
I do like Led Zeppelin's cover of Gallows Pole better than his version, though.

Van Halen has two of the all time great covers IMO.
Dancing in the street
Pretty woman

This is one where they are so different in the approach that I almost think of them as two different songs that I like equally.
There are also a few covers I like very much but I still like the original a little better:
Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night
Leadbelly - Where Did you Sleep Last Night
Cream - Crossroads (1968)
Robert Johnson CrossRoads

The Black Crowes version could be my least favorite of the Hard to Handle versions
Hard to Handle
My favorite could be Pigpen with the Dead

eclipsed the original... You're No Good - Linda Ronstandt
no way
Poor Poor Pitiful Me is absolutely better than the original by Zevon.
And IMO, her version of Tumbling Dice is better than the Stones.
