Cover songs
Jungle's music thread inspired this question: what is the greatest cover song of all time? Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The first song that comes to me is Hendrix' version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower".

Hendrix wins again - twice. My voting criteria being if you went up to someone asked them who wrote/performed the song and they name the cover artist rather than the writer.
All along the Watchtower (Dylan)
Hey Joe (original author in dispute - Tim Rose)
Two more that are "iffy"
Gloria (Van Morrison)
Wild Thing (The Troggs)
Star Spangled Banner (F. Scott Key)
