These next 2 are questionable, because I love the Police and Message has been covered so many times, but it's always great to hear different versions from bands I like..

I decided that Message actually can't be covered better than the original, but it's still a good version.

Electric blankets are much better than the original animal fur at keeping you warm.

I'm expanding this to more than jsut covers that are 'better'.

Dave covers Solsbury Hill pretty well. I've seen him do it live before, not this video, but if anyone can nail it it's him. And Carter murders that chorus too.

Not better than the original but still powerful.

Pretty much anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
 
A hard choice, I think. But I think Pearl Jam does it better
