Siouxsie & the Banshees' version of Dear Prudence is much better than the Beatles' original. Their version of Helter Skelter is also superior (in my opinion at least....).
I prefer Blancmange's cover of Abba's the Day Before You Came, but they're both great.
Bowie's version of China Girl is a good deal better than Iggy's original.
The Damned's cover of Eloise is better than Barry Ryan's original, although that's also quite decent.
The Pretenders' cover of I Go To Sleep is better than the Applejacks recording or the Kinks original (but that was just a demo).
