Richie Havens: Here Comes The Sun (the first time I heard it, I didn't even realize it was the George Harrison composition)
Pet Shop Boys: Always On My Mind
Elvis Presley: Always On My Mind
Elvis Presley: Funny How Time Slips Away
The Runaways: Rock And Roll (it takes a bunch of teenage girls to make a Lou Reed song sound good)
Queen: Jailhouse Rock (one of their regular encore songs in the pre News Of The World years)
Marie And Cherie Currie: Since You've Been Gone
Head East: Since You've Been Gone
Rainbow: Since You've Been Gone
Clout: Since You've Been Gone
Adrian Belew: I'm Down
The Runaways: Wild Thing
Jimi Hendrix: Wild Thing
Mama's Boys: Mama Weer All Crazee Now (better than the Slade version, and better than the Quiet Riot version, too)
Mama's Boys: If The Kids Are United (transformed a relatively limp punk song into a bonafide hard rock anthem)
Rahsaan Roland Kirk: I Say A Little Prayer
Aretha Franklin: I Say A Little Prayer
Stevie Wonder: For Once In My Life (one of the most awesome intros ever)
Aerosmith: Come Together (one of only two worthwhile recordings on the Sgt Pepper soundtrack)
Motorhead: Louie Louie (come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever heard the original version, but I'll take Lemmy and company's rendition over The Kingsmen version)
Kiss: Kissing Time (a serious improvement over the Bobby Rydell recording)
Sun Ra: Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah
Steve Hillage: It's All Too Much
