I’m going with “On the Road Again”, covered by Metallica.
Respect, Aretha Franklin. But the original was pretty darn good too.
VooDoo Chile by SRV
It’s a matter of personal preference, but I think:
The Peter Hollens version of “I See Fire” was better than Ed Sheeran’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yymS1Pb7JfM
The Geoff Castellucci version of “Ghost Riders In The Sky” is better than any of the older versions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yymS1Pb7JfM

Stevie Ray Vaughn covering Hendrix.

Stevie was the axe master.

Norah can sound pretty sultry and seductive when she lets herself relax.
Cash's version is one for the ages.
Girls Talk by Dave Edmunds and Rockpile. Much better than what the author, Elvis Costello did with it.
