There are loads I'd like to include but they are either not very well known or not easily available.
Like this version of Gimme Shelter by Keith Urban and Alicia Keys from Live Earth in 2007. No rehearsal and a last minute decision to duet on it. It is (in my opinion) powerful and epically good.

Never though I'd say this but Kid Rock doing fat bottom girls bt Queen. There's 2 versions which are both good live covers, but the southern rock version is my fave.

Excellent post, music is subjective especially regarding likes/dislikes. Enough said..... Jimi Hendrix for expression, Elvis Presley for a complete musician ie Rock n Roll, Blues, Gospel, Folk, Jazz let alone Hawaiin, Beethoven being tone deaf etc etc etc. My all time greatest band/performer is DEVO..... WHIP IT GOOD 
, not to forget Bob Robert Nesta Marley, JAH

Louie Louie covered by the Kingsmen.
So good many people think it is their song.
The Toots and Maytails version is cool also.

I think there have been some great cover versions of many great songs over the years.. at the moment I am into John Mayers version of Crossroads which is on his Battle Studies Album in this video he performs it with Eric Clapton ..

That will teach me to watch the vid first before posting..had no idea Eric Clapton was going to be singing it so here is just John doin it his way when he was in Australia recently.

All those you listed pale in comparison to Deep Purple's version of "Hush", originally by Billy Joe Royal.

My group "Wranglers" covering Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again".
Of course I may be a bit biased.
