The Bowie, Nirvana and Midge Ure versions are all great.

I'm not a fan of "Come Together." To me, the Beatles version is no better than the covers by Michel Jackson and Aerosmith. The only version I think actually makes the song sound good is Soundgarden's cover.
I like the covers of "Word Up" by KoRn and Gun about the same. (They're both great covers, and are about as good as the original by Cameo.)

Big Yellow Taxi: Joni Mitchell & Amy Grant. (You knew I had to "find a way" to squeeze Amy on my list. Only change is that Amy raised admission for the tree museum since her version was done in 1993.) Dancin' In The Streets: Martha and the Vandellas & Petula Clark. No love for Counting Crows w/ Vanessa Carlton or Bowie & Jagger? 😁

Some in my own opinion:
New Dawn Fades.. originally by Joy Division covered by Moby (can be found on the soundtrack to 'Heat,) Street Fighting Man .. The Rolling Stones covered by Rage Against The Machine Balls to The Wall.. originally by Accept covered by Puscifer Raining Blood .. the Slayer song covered by Tori freakin Amos.

"It Must Be Love" in both the Labi Siffre original and the Madness cover.
Meat Loaf's version of "Bad For Good" misses some of the stuff I love about the Steinman original, but then it has Brian May on guitar which makes up for it!

97 Bonnie and Clyde. Really most of that Tori Amos album was like that.
