Speaking Springsteen covers, this one totally smokes his original:

Nice thread.  Liked the Sepultura covers unlike the Sisters cover they added something different.  THe Sisters did a lot of great  covers of songs you might not expect so they couldn't help but bring something different to the party.

^Again...The Beatles do it better, for me at least. I do like a bit of Si Oxy now and then though.

And surprisingly, the version of Sepultura's "Kaiowas" by heavenly folk ambient italian supergroup Corde Oblique is more dynamic than the original !

Talking of Strangler's covers...
 
 
...better than the original in my estimation if only because the NY idea of Psyche-pop was a little too orchestrated for my liking...
 
What?
