Stairway to Heaven is one of my favorite songs.
I found an interesting cover version by of all people -- Dolly Parton -- that is surpisingly good...

As a huge korn fan I really like their remakes of both word up by cameo and another brick in the wall by that Floyd in pink.
Also think Metallica did well with bob segar's turn the page.

That "Word Up" is a trip! They totally nailed it!

Now for my serious answer...
Michael Burks, the man is phenomenal blues guitarist who truly plays with his heart and soul, and, has a band to match. I've seen him about half a dozen times over the years and he's always bound to pull some incredible cover out of his hat, and you never know what it will be, since they don't use set lists - whatever he plays, they follow.
Unfortunately, not much out there from him on you tube, but here's one to give an idea of how he takes a song and makes it his own, while still respecting the original.
"House of the Rising Sun"

Man that reminds me of how I felt the first time I heard SRV do Little Wing, this guy is truly talented!

Ann Beretta - Just What I Needed
One of my favorite punk bands from the past. Great live shows! Every album they would include a cover.

Plus I haven't heard anyone mention Propagandhi in a long time Albert.

WSP has such a unique way of covering songs, they often don't change them much, but with their unique style and Bell's vocals, they always end up owning whatever they are covering.
Always liked their cover of Fire on the Mountain.

And of course, "Jackassolantern" is a live album in a category all it's own.

I love Panic and have been going to shows since I was in high school. They really do seem to take a song and make it their own. That clip is no exception. I loved Jackassolantern, especially when they did Sympathy for the Devil.
