1) Turn the Page by Metallica

2) Knocking on Heavens Door by GNR

3) All along the Watchtower by Jimi
4) Cry Little Sister and Sweet Dreams are Made of this by Marilyn Manson

Definitely two at the top.  And while we're on Metallica: Whiskey in a Jar (which I didn't know was a cover until just now).

I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett

I have to concur with all of these (although I don’t think I’m familiar with MM’s version of Cry little Sister). Also @DevoHusker Cocker’s With a Little Help From My Friends.

I would add;

Tainted Love by Soft Cell

Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin

Hurt by Johnny Cash

Take Me To The River by Talking Heads

And this one is a little out there and maybe not better than the original but excellent in it’s own way- 

Smells Like Teen Spirit by Malia J
