Johnny Cash's version of Hurt
On that note Johnny Cash did some amazing cover versions (wouldn't say they were all better than the originals but excellent nevertheless).
Stereophonics version of Nothing compares to You is outstanding also.
Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam's version of Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is better than Nina Simone's original and the better known Animals version.
And if this counts - Richie Sambora's solo verson of I'll Be There For You is better than Bon Jovi's with John singing.
